What's in a name? Rapp Funeral Home in Penn Hills becomes Rose

The Rapp Funeral Home Inc. in Penn Hills recently changed its name from the one it’s held since 2004, said Bernadette Rose, the funeral home’s director.

The name change — Rose Funeral Home & Cremation Services Inc. — became effective Aug. 13. Company president David Michener said the change “better reflects both who we are and what we do.”

The change bears Rose’s name, who has served there for 12 years.

The facility always has offered cremation services, which the new name also reflects. The business is not undergoing a change in ownership or staff, Rose said.

The facility will keep its current phone numbers and location at 10940 Frankstown Road. The funeral home’s new website is www.rosefuneralhomeinc.com and Rose’s email address is brose@rosefuneralhomeinc.com.
