Dear Members of Our Community,
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to each family who has entrusted me with the care of their loved ones during my time as Funeral Director in Charge of Gooden-Hatton Funeral Home. It has been a profound honor and responsibility to serve you during some of life’s most difficult moments, and I am deeply thankful for the confidence you placed in me.
I would like to share an important update with the public. Gooden-Hatton Funeral Home will remain open and continue serving the community. However, I am no longer serving in the role of Funeral Director in Charge for the establishment. This transition does not reflect a closure of the business, nor does it diminish the commitment to providing compassionate and professional funeral services to the families we serve.
While my role as Funeral Director in Charge at Gooden-Hatton Funeral Home has concluded, I remain a licensed funeral director and continue to be available to serve families who may need my assistance.
I remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, dignity, and care, and I welcome the opportunity to assist you should the need arise.
Thank you again for the trust, support, and kindness you have shown me. It has been a privilege to walk alongside so many families with compassion and respect, and I look forward to continuing to serve our community in my professional capacity.
With gratitude and respect,
Alice Heard-Roberts, FD
Licensed Funeral Director & Funeral Consultant
