160 Years of Compassionate Care | Roanoke News

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

For 160 years, Oakey’s Funeral Service has stood as a pillar of compassion in the Roanoke Valley — founded in 1866 by a woodworker who built coffins and furniture, it’s grown from one humble location to six funeral homes, adapting to changing traditions like the rise of cremation and celebrations of life. More than a business, it’s a calling — staff members draw from personal experience to offer comfort, humor, and heartfelt support during grief’s hardest moments. Still rooted in its mission, Oakey’s continues to be there when families need them most. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
