Pederson Funeral Home

Pederson Funeral Home We are a privately owned and operated funeral home in the Grand Rapids suburb community of Rockford. Or call (616) 866-1515 to set up your initial appointment.

Pederson Funeral Home is a funeral home that you can trust to help celebrate the life of your loved one. When someone passes away, it can be harrowing for the family. Let the funeral planning team take care of the details while you can focus on what matters the most to you during this sensitive time. The funeral directors are experienced in serving families of all faiths, backgrounds, cultures, and budgets. So do not hesitate to talk about budget-friendly options for end-of-life services. The high-quality services are offered to all with dignity, compassion, and respect. The funeral home is filled with all comforts to welcome everyone in and make it feel like a second home as you gather and connect with family near and far. Pederson Funeral Home offers everything from full-service funerals to immediate burials. The full-service package includes visitations, funerals, and graveside ceremonies at the burials. The family can opt to skip straight to direct burial for an affordable option. Similarly, cremation with a memorial ceremony is the more extensive cremation plan, with a formal gathering service for friends and family to find closure. Direct cremation is without a service and is a low-cost cremation. Life celebrations can be implemented into whichever service you choose, with music, dancing, and a more lighthearted tone. As you look into pre-planning services, know that planning years ahead for an end-of-life service is just as important as drawing up a will or buying life insurance. Your family can be notified of your preferences for burial or cremation, urns, caskets, vaults, memorials, military honors, veteran services, etc. When you take the time to make these plans in advance, your family will be relieved from loads of stress after you pass away. Pederson Funeral Home takes pride in serving Moorland, Bridgeton, Sheridan Charter Township, Croton, Ashland, Bailey, Pierson, Sand Lake, Trufant, Cedar Springs, Kent City, Conklin, and Ravenna. They offer green burial options to reduce your carbon footprint during this time. If you are ready to start pre-planning or have just learned about a death in the family, Pederson Funeral Home is at your service. You can take a tour of the home at 127 N Monroe St Rockford, MI 49341.

Healing After Losing a Parent (My Story) ❤️

Hi, this is Ryan with Plaisier Funeral
(Pederson & Fields-McKinley Funeral Homes).

Losing a parent—especially early in life—can place you on a timeline you could never prepare for.
Time alone doesn’t always “heal” the void their physical presence leaves behind.

But when you choose, day by day, to live your life as fully as you can—even if that growth feels small, even if it’s just a 0.5% improvement—you may begin to feel their spirit in new ways.
Sometimes, that presence can feel just as real, and just as strong, even if only for a brief moment.

Grief changes us.
But when we allow ourselves to honor the pain, the yearning, and the heartbreak, we can also discover resilience we didn’t know we had.

And in that process, we may surprise ourselves—and those we carry with us in memory—with what we’re still capable of becoming.

— Ryan
