Leading the way

Serving Alpharetta, Cumming, John’s Creek, Milton and more, Roswell Funeral Home is a non-denominational mortuary with trusted expertise in personalized funerals and cremations. Our long history of service to the community of Roswell and surrounding areas has made us a prominent name in North Georgia.

We always strive to be at the forefront of industry innovation. To that end, the funeral home is continually updated to meet the needs of modern families.

A place to connect

From our beautiful chapel to our spacious reception spaces, every aspect of Roswell Funeral Home is thoughtfully designed to honor your loved one and the traditions that are important to your family. We help you celebrate life like no other.

Our funeral home facilities encourage communication and socializing, creating opportunity for friends and families to share and remember.

The chapel has a baby grand piano, a state-of-the-art sound system, 6 large monitors and a water feature. We can arrange the space traditionally with rows of chairs or in a more contemporary way with round tables and table linens. Custom services are our specialization—simply tell us what you want.

Personal, custom funeral services

The team at Roswell Funeral Home believes in the healing power of human connection. With each family, we take time to learn about the unique qualities and interests of the person for whom services are being planned. Our compassionate funeral planners understand various cultural and religious practices, and we work to design meaningful services that celebrate life.

Let's start with a story. What did your special someone love? How did he or she live life? We use your memories to design a background for the chapel or a centerpiece for the event room that truly reflects an individual. Whether it's a favorite sports team, a hobby like gardening or a passion for traveling, we take the things that mattered to someone and create a fitting tribute.

Cremation services

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many options for cremation—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. We use only crematories owned and operated by Dignity Memorial^® providers or trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

History

Our funeral home is the oldest in Roswell. Founded in 1839 as Roswell Manufacturing Co., the business originally designed, made and sold caskets. When the company opened a funeral home that 1st year, it began a tradition of compassionate care.

In 1935, Roswell Funeral Home moved from the mill store in which it began and into a more modern facility in historic Roswell Square. The funeral home eventually moved to its current location on Mansell Road in 1989 and partnered with Greenlawn Cemetery.

Today, as members of the Dignity Memorial^® network, Roswell Funeral Home and Greenlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum work together to offer a full range of services, plus benefits like advanced funeral planning and grief support.

Greenlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum

Comprising 53 acres in Roswell, Greenlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum is a unique cemetery where well-designed spaces provide truly special tributes to loved ones. The cemetery team maintains the grounds with seasonal landscaping, constantly beautifying the property so that visitors have a welcoming environment in which to reflect on their loved ones' lives.

Special gardens

Our special gardens include a veterans garden for former members of the U.S. armed forces, the Star of David Garden (a Jewish development with upright monuments) and All Saints Garden (a Catholic garden that features a center altar and is home to biannual Catholic ceremonies).

Greenlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum also includes 3 cremation gardens: Lakeside, Waterside and Serenity. These areas host columbaria, niche walls and private cremation estates. Cremation boulders surround a lovely manmade pond and stream. Each inscribed bolder has 2 spaces for holding cremated remains.

Community involvement

Both Roswell Funeral Home and Greenlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum strive to uphold the tradition of compassion and excellence that the funeral home began in 1839. To that end, we host events for the community throughout the year and welcome families to hold their own events in our spaces. At Roswell, we value community, and we thank you for being part of ours.

Our Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and Veterans Day events help families remember and honor their loved ones. Lighting in the Park, a Christmas memorial that includes 1,500 glowing luminaries, is 1 of a few religious ceremonies we hold during the year.

As partners in the community, we also participate with several local charities, churches and civic organizations.
