Why Choose Us
Why Choose Routsong Funeral Home
The most important thing to consider when choosing a funeral home is trust. Do you trust that your funeral director has your family's best interests at heart? Do you trust them to always be there for you during your time of need? Do you trust that they will get your loved one to where they need to go, and also get your family to where they need to be (on the path towards healing)? At Routsong Funeral Home we do things differently. For instance, you can trust that none of our directors are compensated based on commission, so there won't be any pushy salespeople. You can trust that there will always be a licensed funeral director to guide you. So whether it is a funeral, visitation, memorial service, or celebration of life honoring your loved one, there is always a professional there that knows your family, and is standing by to help. You can trust that we will not advertise a "low low price" to get you in the door, then nickel and dime you once your loved one is in our care. And we certainly aren't a multinational corporation posing as a family-owned firm. We are local, family-owned, and trusted by the communities of Dayton for over 100 years. We are Routsong Funeral Home, and we are the funeral home families can rely on.
Online Memorial
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Video
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
Weekly Grief Steps Emails
We offer one year of free weekly grief support emails to the families we serve. It is important to us that we continue to comfort our families through the difficult days that the first year of grieving can bring.
