Roper and Sons Funeral Home

Roper and Sons Funeral Home Roper & Sons Funeral Home is now in our 120th year of serving Lincoln, Nebraska families with honor, integrity, and dignity.

Four generations strong and founded in December of 1901, Roper & Sons Funeral Home has been serving Lincoln families with honor, integrity, and dignity for 120 years. Roper & Sons Funeral Home was founded in December 1901, when Charles H. Roper began offering funeral services with Charles Beecher. The first facility opened at 124 South 13th Street, and began the longstanding tradition of offering funeral services with the honor, integrity, and dignity that Lincoln deserves. The current building at 4300 O Street was opened in 1959 and continues as our primary facility today. Roper & Sons Funeral Home continues to uphold Charles H. Roper’s commitment to serving Lincoln residents and the surrounding communities as well as keeping the business in the hands of family. The business is now managed by Tom Roper and Dean Schneider, along with Bill Roper and Charles "Pooch" Roper.

For most of us, the word “hero” conjures images of extraordinary acts. That said, heroism can often show up quietly, woven into the everyday moments that hold communities together. This year, we recognized three individuals who represent what our annual Here’s To The Heroes Award is all about–courage, service, and kindness in remarkable ways.

It’s hard to imagine Roper & Sons without Mark Roper’s warm smile and steady presence, but after nearly four decades of dedicated service, Mark is officially retiring.

Mark joined the funeral business back in 1988, following in his family’s footsteps and continuing a legacy of care that has touched countless lives across generations. Over the years, he’s walked alongside Lincoln families, offering comfort, understanding, and genuine care when it was needed most.

Mark, thank you for the countless ways you’ve served our community and for the heart you’ve poured into everything you do. You’ve made a lasting impact on so many lives. Congratulations on your well-earned retirement!
