Located in Longview and Henderson, Texas, We invite you to discover who has made Rader Funeral Homes

Grief is often pictured as a straight path forward—simple, steady, and easy to move through. The truth is, it’s anything but.

Grief can feel like a tangled web of emotions, ups and downs, and unexpected turns. Some days may feel lighter, others much heavier. And that’s okay. Healing doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t have to look “neat.”

If you’re walking through grief, know that you’re not alone. Give yourself grace, take one step at a time, and lean on others for support.

This Veterans Day, we honor every man and woman who has served. Especially those we’ve had the privilege to serve at Rader Funeral Homes.

Thank you for your courage and your sacrifice.

11/10/2025

For Veterans Day, we pause to recognize the brave men and women in our East Texas community who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication.

Whether it’s a neighbor, a parent, or a friend — their service has shaped our freedoms, and their legacy lives on in our hearts.

At Rader Funeral Homes of Longview-Henderson and Rosewood Park Cemetery, we are honored to serve many veterans and their families. Each folded flag, each quiet salute, each memorial wreath — they matter deeply.

As November 11 approaches, we invite you to take a moment to:

+ Thank a veteran in your life
+ Visit a local memorial
+ Share a story of service with the next generation

Their service deserves more than a day — it deserves our daily gratitude.

Absolutely.

Just like traditional services, cremation memorials can reflect the life, passions, and personality of your loved one. From custom urns and tribute videos to memory tables, music, or even themed decor—there are countless ways to create a meaningful experience.

Want to include military honors? Display a favorite quilt or hobby items? Share a slideshow or plantable seed cards? We can help you bring it to life.

A cremation memorial is about how we remember, not how we said goodbye.

📞 Have questions about planning? We’re here to help when you’re ready.

We know Halloween is a season of fun, but for some, it can also stir memories of someone missing.

Grief doesn’t come with a manual—but friendship can make all the difference. If you’re wondering how to show up for someone who’s hurting, start here:

- Drop off groceries
Grief is exhausting. Eating can feel like a chore. A bag of easy meals, snacks, or a warm casserole shows care without requiring conversation.

- Leave a card, no pressure to talk
Sometimes, the most comforting thing is knowing someone is thinking of you—without needing anything in return. A handwritten note is quiet support that stays.

- Send a voice memo with a favorite memory
Hearing a friend’s voice and a story about their loved one can bring comfort and connection. It’s a beautiful way to help keep their memory alive.

- Don’t disappear after the first few weeks
The crowd fades, but grief lingers. Mark a calendar reminder to check in—one month, three months, six months later. Your consistent presence matters more than you know.

- Say their loved one’s name out loud
Many people avoid mentioning the name, fearing it’ll cause pain. But most grieving hearts want to hear that name. It’s a sign they’re remembered—not forgotten.

Kindness doesn’t need to be complicated.
Just show up. Be real. Say something. Or simply sit beside them.

You don’t have to fix grief—you just have to be a friend through it.
