Whitley-Garner at Rosehaven Funeral Home and Memorial Park has undergone a massive remodeling project to better serve its customers. The Whitley Garner renovation was completed in the Spring of 2025.
The Abercrombie Chapel, where services are conducted, was the center of attention with the pews being replaced by comfortable chairs. The chapel, which boasts a cathedral ceiling also has a new, state of the art sound system and new television screens. The chapel seats 250 guests.
The entire facility, including the four large staterooms, has new carpeting, which still reflects the traditional feel of the home. The Legacy Room, a reception area where food is served also received new flooring.
