Our History

Griffiths-Hovendick Chapel, Inc. in Beatrice was established on September 23, 1944, when Heath and Blanche Griffiths purchased the Bergmeyer Funeral Home at 16th and Court Street in Beatrice. In 1956, we built the first new facility in Beatrice designated specifically as a funeral home at its current location in Beatrice at 708 North 6th (on the corner of U.S. Hwy 77 and Washington Street).

Dick Hovendick, Heath & Blanche's son-in-law joined the firm in 1960, and Dick's son, Rich Hovendick became the third generation when he joined the funeral home in 1978. In May of 2016, the fourth generation of the Hovendick family was added when Dick's granddaughter, Samatha (Hovendick) Thompson joined the firm. Rich and Samantha are licensed funeral directors and embalmers as well as licensed pre-need providers.

Dick Hovendick and the late Jackie (Griffiths) Hovendick, and Rich Hovendick and his wife, Linda are the owners of the Griffiths-Hovendick Chapel, Inc, with locations in Adams and DeWitt, and complete facilities in Beatrice and the Laughlin-Hoevet Funeral Home in Wymore - managed by Samantha Thompson.
