The care and guidance from Mr. Groce and the entire staff with Groce Funeral Home was impeccable. The attention to details for every step from visitation to funeral to graveside helped us to ensure we followed their final wishes to the best of our ability and within our financial abilities. The compassion shown to each and every family member while making the final decisions during such an emotional time for our family was beyond what we expected and so appreciated by everyone. The followup after the funerals and burials to help us with the paperwork we needed for other documentation was definitely an assistance we did not expect, but it was given with the same high level professionalism and quality personal service as when we were planning the funerals. We're so grateful for the genuine care shown to our family as we said our final goodbyes to both our parents, and we are thankful we trusted Groce Funeral Home with our families needs.

Your family deserves to gather together and remember the deceased. You can do that by implementing touches of their personality throughout the service, including unique musical numbers, readings, and flower displays. Direct cremation is without a service and the most affordable option for end-of-life care. If you want to hold a memorial ceremony, you can do so before or after the cremation. It is crucial to the healing process to provide a gathering for family and friends to say their final goodbyes. Included in the planning process are ship-in, ship-out, and repatriation services. You can even look into green burial options to have the environment in mind when burying the deceased. From the moment you hear about the death, call the funeral home to get any questions answered that are weighing on your mind. For example, you may not know where to start with military honors or veteran services. The funeral home can take care of it all!

When my Sister passed in June, 2024, it never occurred to me to go anywhere but Morris. Steve Hundley greeted us with a warm smile and spent enough time with us so we could choose from among the many funeral options there are. He helped us plan for cremation exactly in accordance with her wishes. He placed obituaries in the Asheville newspaper and her local newspaper in Massachusetts. There was a wide range of urns from which to choose. The bottom line, the cost, was very reasonable. Steve was very kind and knowledgeable, and made this part of the grieving process so much less painful. We will always be a Morris Funeral Home and Cremation Care family.

We didn't come close to making it through the list as it's really spread out. We'll be back since we enjoy just walking around and seeing the peaceful grounds. If I had anything critical to say it would be about the map itself. The font they used is hard to read. Also, they have markers by the gravesites that tell you it's listed on the map but it would have been nice if there was a number on the marker to correlate with the name on the map. If you are interested in gravesites and history this is a wonderful place to visit.
