ADA compatible restroom facilities and ramps. Two arrangement offices, one specialized for the cremation client.
A funeral represents a purposeful opportunity to reflect on the meaning of a life that has been lived and to determine the impact of that meaning for the family and friends. There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you.
We understand that those who choose cremation may have concerns about the process and procedures. Our 9-Step Cremation Assurance Process guarantees that your loved one never leaves our care and that the cremated remains that are returned to you are those of your loved one. Many other funeral homes hire third party crematories, typically located in a warehouse district.

It has taken me almost three years to write this review but they were so great with us during such a horrible time. We went into there a complete mess just losing our Mother and they were so patient with us and helped us with decisions we just couldn't make at that time. Dolly was great. Thank you so much.

During my greatest time of grief, the loss of my son, our family was treated with the most respect, dignity and sympathy by the staff at Griffith Cline. Dolly, Kathy and Bob Parrish were amazing. Answering our questions, helping us each step of the way. There is no way I can thank them enough for their patience and understanding of a mothers grief. All I can say is ..... Thank you.....
