After Claude's death in 1939, Grace attended mortuary school and continued the business with kindness and understanding for many years. Following Grace's death in 1961, James Mack, Claude and Grace's great-nephew, assumed directorship until 2003. Their principle focus was to preserve the tradition of a family owned establishment and, in keeping with Griesel's legacy, to provide the highest level of service to the community with compassion, kindness and understanding.

Veterans Overview
Report
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
Veterans Headstones
Report
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
Veterans Burial Flags
Report
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
