Rashad Robinson, Funeral Home Apprentice

A proud graduate of Mumford High School, Class of 2006, I carried forward the values of community and service into my further studies. In 2023, I achieved a significant milestone, graduating from Gupton Jones College of Funeral Services, where I honed my skills and deepened my understanding of this noble profession.
Currently, I am furthering my education at Midwest Theological College, pursuing a Bachelor’s in Theology. This pursuit is driven by my belief in the power of spiritual support and comfort during times of loss. It resonates deeply with my personal philosophy, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted," a guiding verse from Matthew? ?5?:?4? that underscores my approach to serving families.

My aspiration to serve in the funeral industry is rooted in a profound realization: there is no greater feeling than to stand beside a family in their most painful time, offering a shoulder to lean on. My commitment to empathy and compassion is unwavering, ensuring that every family knows they do not face their grief alone.

As a proud member of the National Funeral Director and Mortician Association, I am connected to a network of professionals who share a commitment to excellence in service. My ambition doesn't stop here; I endeavor to impart my knowledge and experience as an instructor at a Mortuary School, aspiring to inspire the next generation of funeral service professionals.

At the core of my service is a promise: to walk with you through every step of this difficult journey, providing comfort, care, and a compassionate ear. In your moments of need, remember that you aren't alone. At our funeral home, you'll find more than just services; you'll find a partner in your journey of remembrance and healing.
