Olthof Funeral Home joins Rollings Funeral Service, Inc.

Elmira, NY – Rollings Funeral Service, Inc. is proud to announce its recent acquisition of Olthof Funeral Home, Inc.

Olthof Funeral Home, located in Elmira, New York, has been serving families of all faiths in  New York and Pennsylvania for over 70 years. Robert Olthof, the former owner, has operated the business for over 25 years.

Greg Rollings, President and Owner of Rollings Funeral Service, Inc., stated “We are thrilled to become part of the Elmira community and grow our presence in the region.  As a family owned business, we pride ourselves on partnering with premier local family owned businesses, like Olthof. We understand the great importance of personal service.” Rollings added, “I look forward to having Rob Olthof and his staff continue to operate the business into the future.”

Robert Olthof interviewed several possible buyers before deciding that Rollings Funeral Service would be the best successor to the business. “What I really like about Rollings Funeral Service is that Greg is a licensed funeral director himself. He understands my concerns a lot more than some of the other companies we considered as a successor to the business.”

With more than 25 locations, Rollings Funeral Service, Inc. is one of the largest private funeral home owners in the eastern United States. Rollings plans to continue to be very active in acquiring funeral homes, giving retiring owners a great alternative to selling to a publicly traded company.

NewBridge Group assisted with the funeral home appraisal and financing of the purchase.
