Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home would not exist the way it is without the leadership of Bruce Howell. While we will miss his warmth, kindness and generosity, we are glad to carry on the legacy of care and compassion that he helped set.

On this Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country and honor their sacrifice.

Behind every name is a life, a story, and a family who continues to feel their absence. We stand with those who carry both their loss and their legacy forward each day.

When words are hard to find, even a small gesture can mean so much.

Flowers offer a quiet way to show support, express sympathy, and let someone know they’re not alone.

Arrangements can now be ordered directly through our website—each one hand delivered by a local florist for a thoughtful, personal touch: gormanscharpf.com/send-flowers

Some of the strongest people we know carry their love quietly.

In the way they show up, hold families together, and care for others—day after day, year after year.

Today, we honor the mothers—and mother figures—whose love continues to shape our lives in ways both seen and unseen.
