“Loved Ryan and Josh! But the whole staff is great! Very honest, loving, and caring. I had a very difficult and complex situation. Prices are great too! We called every funeral home around and we chose Grundy for so many more reasons. At the end of the process I was so thankful to have had them take care of my beloved sister. Also, the way they designed and decorated the service was amazing! Absolutely beautiful!”
“Great place to have service for your loved ones”
“They where great when my mother passed a very nice funeral home they work great with another funeral home because my mother lived away but brought her back for her funeral”
“Wonderful people. They took care of my dad like they would their own. Always so kind and sincere.”
“I ordered my Moms headstone in May 2025 and paid over 1,000 for it. Was told it would take 2 months 3 at the most. Everytime I called them I was told something different. Last time I called they told me it was wrong and it would be February or March. I told them I wanted a refund and they said ok. Next day I was called and told it was there. Manager I told I wanted refund was rude. I then waited again over two weeks for it to be set because of weather. I will never order from them again.”

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.
For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
