“Tom Howard’s only son was treated so badly at the funeral. He was last in the procession to the cemetery and they moved the casket to the hearse while he was inside getting coats on. That was totally disrespectful.”
“The professionals who work at this funeral home are exceptional human beings. My family and I worked with Samantha, and honestly, she was incredibly helpful. I really do appreciate the attentiveness and care we received from Grisier.”
“The crew at Edgar-Grisier Funeral Homes is amazing. They were professional, kind, caring, fun (weird in this context), patient, and handled EVERYTHING so that my family had little to do except celebrate our mom's life. We had a VERY negative experience with another funeral concern in the area when my father died a year ago. It's cliché but the experience was night and day. I would recommend these folks for your family. Without hesitation. A million times over.”
“Memories flow of Les's oh so Sweet Smiling face and oh so talkative and am already missing reading his Daily Social Media Positive Inspirational Posts that warmed the Heart ❤️ gave new outlook on life.”
“They took care of my sisters funeral. Everything was done amazingly”
