History
Established in 1958.
Francis G. Rose purchased the property, which was once full of apricot trees owned by William «Bill» Furtado. Construction of the funeral home began in the spring of 1958 by Fred Diaz and was completed in the winter of 1958. Francis opened the doors December 1958 and did everything from making removals and embalming to meeting with families and conducting services. He is a licensed funeral director and embalmer who took apprentices under his wing periodically. Every day was an adventure but he never gave up. Of course, his darling wife Dorothy Rose aided him by answering doors and phones, after all their residence was in the back of the parlor. The family always did things in shifts, such as going to church, since someone always had to be at the building. The phone rang 24⁄7 and their 4 kids quickly learned to not answer and be quiet, it’s business.
The first and only remodel occurred circa 1990 at this time the front of the building facing Peralta Blvd. was extended outward.
