Being a family-owned-and-operated funeral service facility was a tradition begun in Salina in 1874 by the William Berg family. Continuing with this "family serving families" commitment, the Guy R. Ryan family chose our present North Eighth Street location in 1924. Currently, four Ryan grandsons and two great-grandsons manage one of the most experienced, licensed funeral service staffs in Kansas. The local ownership dedication to our community is reflected daily through our service and contributions to civic, business and religious activities. We believe in offering a full range of services by providing a separate advance funeral planning director, a fully trained and licensed professional staff; including nine certified crematory operators. We were one of the first Kansas crematories, established in May 1985; with one of the newest crematory units, put in place in July 2010. This provides the experience to offer the widest selection of choices available. Our packaged service options are offered to give a clear transparent combination of reasonable prices coupled with exceptional value. We feel we can provide the thoughtful assistance required to meet anyone's needs or varied service requests.

At Carlson Funeral Home, we offer compassionate, personalized services to honor your loved ones. Our dedicated team ensures a meaningful farewell, blending tradition with modern care for every family's needs.

Our funeral home and cemetery are family owned and operated businesses. Roselawn Memorial Park was first started in 1926 and has been owned by the Frobenius family for the past 50 years. Originally owned by Robert Frobenius, Sr., it is now owned and operated by Robert Frobenius II, his wife, Diana. Roselawn Mortuary was opened so that we could offer more to those we serve. It has been in operation for over 25 years. We are large enough to offer our families a wide variety of services, yet we are small enough that each family gets the level of attention and care they deserve.
