Croxford Funeral Home & Crematory

Croxford Funeral Home & Crematory For 94 years, we’ve provided compassionate and dignified Funeral/Memorial services to our community. As the only locally owned, family mortuary in GF.

With our licensed directors and staff we offer pre-planning and grief support. Staff available 24/7 Croxford Merrill Mortuary was founded in 1929 by Lloyd Croxford and was temporarily operated out of a storefront shop at 307 1st Ave North. Lloyd began construction on an English Tudor style building in September of 1930 and was proud to open the building for business in May of 1931. Lloyd,with his

wife, Patti, and their two sons, Gary and Dennis, lived in the funeral home for the first 25 years they were in business. As Gary and Dennis grew up, they became passionate about funeral service, and the name was changed to Croxford & Sons Funeral Home. Lloyd passed away in 1973 and Gary and Dennis became owner-operators. Gary retired in 2003. Dennis continued serving the community as the sole proprietor until his own retirement in 2015. At that time, he sold the business to Drew and Maggie Kent. The Kent family strives to uphold the Croxford's legacy of compassion for each family we serve.

Grief is a journey that looks different for each of us. There is no map, no timetable, and no “right” way to navigate the loss of a loved one. In the quiet moments, we find our own paths to healing, sometimes slowly, sometimes unexpectedly. At Croxford Funeral Home, we are here to walk alongside you, offering support, comfort, and understanding as you find your way through this wilderness of emotions. Remember, healing is not a destination, but a journey, and you do not have to walk it alone.

If we asked 100 people what grief feels like, we might hear:

-A heavy, endless ache – like carrying a weight that no one else can see.
-A hollow silence – the world goes on, but part of us has stopped.
-A storm of anger and confusion – waves of “why” and “how could this happen?” crashing without warning.
-A fog that blurs the everyday – simple tasks feel monumental, and memories come in pieces.
-A body that remembers sorrow – exhaustion, tight chests, sleepless nights, a pain that isn’t just in the heart.

Grief is as unique as the love that preceded it, but in every ache and tear, we are reminded that we have loved deeply.
