Welcome


 Second Location Announcement

We are happy to announce that Lawson-Roessner Funeral Home has now become Schaffer Funeral Home South, Lawson-Roessner Chapel.  Please read the message below from the previous owner:

I am writing this letter to inform you that after 43 years of serving Defiance as a funeral director and 39 years of owning Lawson-Roessner Funeral Home, I have made the difficult decision to sell.  It has been my privilege and honor to care for families in Defiance over the years.  I want to ensure that Defiance continues to receive the care needed.  Jayne and I have accepted an offer, to purchase the funeral home, from the Dan Schaffer family.  They will extend their care to include families that we have served.  I wish you peace and happiness in the future.

Mike

Testimonials

The entire staff at Schaffer's was phenomenal. My Mother had a preplanned funeral, but there were extra details and questions we had. They answered them all and took great care and extra time with us. At a time of grieving it is nice to have someone go above and beyond to help you. I recommend Schaffer’s for all your funeral needs.
