Ford Funeral Home

Ford Funeral Home was a cornerstone of compassionate end-of-life care in the Midwest City and Del City communities for over two decades. Founded in 2003 by Roger Ford, a respected figure in the local funeral service industry, the home was established at 305 South Sooner Road in Midwest City, Oklahoma. From its inception, Ford Funeral Home provided families with dignified funeral services, burial arrangements, and cremation options, supported by an on-site chapel that offered a serene setting for visitations, services, and memorial gatherings. The facility was designed to be accessible and welcoming, featuring wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, ensuring that all families could attend services without barriers.

Roger Ford built the funeral home on a foundation of personal attention and community trust. Over the years, the home became known for its professional staff, who guided grieving families through every step of the funeral planning process with empathy and expertise. Services typically included traditional funerals, memorial services, graveside ceremonies, and cremation care, all tailored to honor the unique life of each individual. The funeral home also provided pre-planning options, allowing individuals to make arrangements in advance and relieve loved ones of decision-making burdens during difficult times.

In 2013, Ford Funeral Home was sold to a different owner, but continued to serve the area under the same name and mission for several more years. In December 2024, the business was acquired by the partnership of Cliff Pope and Vincent Friederich, who were former colleagues of Roger Ford from their time at Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home. The new owners renamed the location Barnes-Friederich & Pope Funeral Home, though they honored Roger Ford's legacy by renaming the on-site chapel as the Ford Chapel. This acquisition allowed the new owners to expand their footprint in the Mid-Del region while preserving the established reputation and facility that Ford had created.

Under the new ownership, the funeral home continues to offer a full range of services, including burial and cremation services, with the added convenience of an on-site crematory. The location maintains its role as a trusted provider of end-of-life care, serving families from Midwest City, Del City, and throughout central Oklahoma. While the business name has changed, the spirit of Ford Funeral Home lives on through the continued commitment to personalized, respectful service and the community-centered approach that Roger Ford envisioned.
