People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life.

Victoria Rotz
Cemetery & Funeral Home Office Manager
Victoria joined Sunset in 2013 in the Administrative Department, and then became the Sales Assistant & Marketing Specialist. In 2023 Victoria became the Office Manager for the cemetery and funeral home.
Victoria comes from a family with a cemetery background, her grandfather "Pop" (Denver Paige) was the primary caretaker of the local cemetery in her hometown in Kentucky for over 30 years. When asked why she came into this industry she replied "I have always worked in a field that I help & care for people, but I always thought about the family and how they are after I heard of the passing of a loved one. I knew that coming to Sunset was where I could help those people the most. It also has helped me show my son how to honor those people and care for their family members. He enjoys coming in during the holidays to hand out flags and flowers and assist anywhere he can. It is a very proud parent moment to see your child helping others and the smiles they have while interacting with him."
Victoria enjoys watching her son Nicholas play football, spending time reading while cuddled with her dog Valkyrie, and spending time with her family and friends.
We illuminate paths to peace with personalized ceremonies and memorial tributes that honor your loved one.

I was at Sunset cemetery and with all of the snow cover, I couldn’t find my parents grave, after searching for awhile, I called the office and Sarah was nice enough to come out in the cold and helped me find the grave! I can’t say how much I really appreciated all of Sarah’s help! Thank You!
