At Roberts of Ocala, we believe a funeral home should do more than plan services — it should be a source of ongoing care, connection, and compassion. This July, we’re proud to support our local families through service, outreach, and celebration.

From back-to-school community drives to personalized legacy planning, our mission is built on giving back to the people who trust us most: you.

July Spotlight: Back to School Bash

On Saturday, July 26, we’ll join the Community Foundation of Ocala/Marion County for their annual Back to School Bash, providing school supplies, resources, and encouragement to hundreds of local children and families.

  • Supply drive at all chapel locations
  • Roberts volunteers on-site
  • Compassion in action

Why Community Events Matter to Us

Grief doesn’t end after a service—and neither does our care.

By staying involved in the community, we meet families where they are: in their neighborhoods, at events, and through programs like the CARES Initiative, which offers free resources, discounts, and wellness support to local organizations and employees.

Healing Happens in Community

Whether you’ve recently lost a loved one or are navigating long-term grief, support matters. That’s why we partner with:

  • Hospice of Marion County (grief workshops and dementia support)
  • Local churches and civic groups
  • Senior organizations like Master the Possibilities and Ocala Recreation

Our outreach isn’t just about services—it’s about healing, education, and empowerment.

Celebrating Life, Not Just Mourning Loss

We specialize in Celebrations of Life that reflect personality, culture, and love. Whether it’s a butterfly release, military honors, or a garden ceremony, our team ensures each service is as unique as the life it honors.

“We felt like our dad’s story was told the way he would have wanted—full of laughter, music, and family.”
