We stand behind our reputation and will continue to serve our community with the values instilled by our funeral directors. The history of our funeral home dates back to 1930 with the establishment of the Fred C. Gridley Funeral Home founded by Mr. Fred Gridley, a local gentleman who also founded and ran the Fred C. Gridley Furniture House.

Our main facility is set up to accommodate groups of any size. We have modern amenities, yet keep with the allure and feel of a comfortable and welcoming parlor-type funeral home. Our facility is decorated with antiques and paintings of beautiful sceneries and local history. We also have a second, smaller viewing room in the building next-door, decorated in the same caring manner.
