There were several entities involved in the planning of her funeral due to her status in the community. The staff at Cress helped to make difficult decisions easy. They went above and beyond on the days of visitation and service. We planned to just play music from my sisters phone. Her phone was new and they didn't have the correct output for it. Staff worked together and prior to the start of the visitation, they had the doggle(?) that was needed. They checked in with all our family members to make sure we had what we needed throughout our time there. The space itself is also beautiful. We did everything from the visitation to service to reception at Cress. If the weather cooperates, they have a beautiful deck. They also have a nice playroom available for children which was quite beneficial for my nieces. While I hope to not need their services for quite some time, I highly recommend working with their team.

More importantly, the team went above and beyond to take care of our family at a time when we needed guidance most. They guided me through options, had recommendations for other services, were patient and comforting in helping with remains and planning. Then they actually stopped by the house when I requested special assistance. I really appreciate everything they did to help. Update: Grace completely saved me a second time with my mom's passing and cremation as well. So patient and compassionate. Cannot recommend enough.

To be honest, I have not experienced a funeral hosted by Grace. I have however been on a tour of…read moretheir facilities numerous times for different events. The first time I walked in, was to give the owner some information about a local event happening in our area. I have to admit, I was mostly indifferent about stepping foot in a funeral and cremation service establishment. As I walked in I let out a deep breath. It was BEAUTIFUL inside. The minute you step foot in the door, you feel a wave of calm wash over you. Maybe they practice feng shui, I have no idea. What made an impression on me next were the owners. The owners are young, upbeat, friendly, and very welcoming. They introduced themselves, and then Kristan, (one of the owners) took me on a tour of their facility. I was impressed by all of the different options they had. They can create custom blankets, blown glass jewelry, and different types of earns based on the connections they have in the industry. There is quite the variety of caskets to choose from as well. They have everything from your traditional caskets to eco-friendly caskets that are biodegradable. They pretty much can accommodate any individual personality. They even do pet funerals. Grace Funeral has made quite the impression on me.
