Roberta Hancock Shaw

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

At 4:00 p.m., March 17, 2020, Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order which prohibits gatherings of 50 or more persons. Due to this mandate and in an effort to protect our community, staff, and the families we serve, Miller-Rivers-Caulder Funeral Home will operate in compliance with the governor's order. We, along with Mrs. Shaw's family have made the following changes to her funeral arrangements.

VISITATION: Only 50 people (including family and staff) will be permitted in the funeral home at a time. Our staff will work with guests to allow each of you a brief moment to pay your respects to the family. Please note that hand sanitizer will be provided throughout the funeral home. Also, this is the time to remember that a kind word and a warm smile can be as comforting to the family as a hug or handshake.

FUNERAL: Mrs. Shaw's funeral service will be closed to the public. Only family members, pall bearers, and officiants will be permitted. The funeral service will be broadcast via Facebook Live on the Miller-Rivers-Caulder Funeral Home Facebook Page.

Thank you,
