“For over 40 years, we have been guided by the values instilled
in us by our founder, Robert Metcalf. Now that Metcalf Funeral
Home has joined the Roper & Sons family, those values are again
at the forefront of all we do.
The Metcalf and Roper families have
a long and shared history of serving the Lincoln community. Metcalf
founder Robert Metcalf began
his career as a funeral director with Roper & Sons before founding
Metcalf Funeral Home in 1961. We are pleased to announce our reunion
and our return to local ownership."
