Fred Rogers will be laid to rest following a small, private memorial service for family members.

Details of a public memorial service will be announced at a later date.

The Rogers family requests that memorial contributions be made to the "Fred Rogers Fund" of Family Communications, the non-profit organization that Fred Rogers founded and led for the past 32 years.

It is their wish that Family Communications carry on his philosophy, vision and mission by continuing to produce materials to encourage the healthy emotional, social and intellectual development of children, their families, and those who support them.
