After Claude's death in 1939, Grace attended mortuary school and continued the business with kindness and understanding for many years. Following Grace's death in 1961, James Mack, Claude and Grace's great-nephew, assumed directorship until 2003. Their principle focus was to preserve the tradition of a family owned establishment and, in keeping with Griesel's legacy, to provide the highest level of service to the community with compassion, kindness and understanding.
Having the opportunity to appreciate their parent's dedication and contribution to the community, Felicia and Alicia Jimenez Stodden, Leo and Rosario's daughters, also became licensed funeral directors and embalmers in 2005 and 2012, respectively.

Services
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the finality of death.
Webhealing.com, the first interactive grief website on the internet, offers discussion boards, articles, book suggestions, and advice for men and women working through every aspect of grief. The site's founder, Tom Golden LCSW, has provided book excerpts and contact information to help those healing from loss.

I want to thank the entire Griesel Jimenez Stodden team for all they did for our family. We lost our beloved grandpa (Abuelito) on thanksgiving morning. They made the entire process very easy and were so so helpful with pictures, live music and everything in between. May god continue to bless them. Thank you, Karina and Díaz Family.

The Griesel Jimenez Stodden Funeral Home goes above and beyond in providing the best care and services. Losing my father during a time when everything seems to be changing, Felicia and Alicia did an amazing job. Not only did they make everyone feel safe, they went above and beyond paying attention to every small detail.
Before we even arrived for our arrangement meeting, Alicia had pulled up information and drafted an obituary. These small things made it so much easier for us. During a time of grieving, you are not focused on things like that, and these women made it much easier.

There are many places to choose from when looking for a departed loved ones funeral but the Griesel Jimenez Stodden family gives you heart felt attention to detail and offer great support in a very trying period in life. My father looked awesome when the Griesel Jimenez Stodden family was done with his wake. Felicia, was amazing and she made my every request possible. I don't think she knows how to say "No". My most sincere gratitude to the whole Griesel Jimenez Stodden family and crew. They made my dads funeral very memorable.
