Our story

Grace Funeral & Cremation Services opened its doors in June of 2009 in a storefront space in the former Colonial Village Mall. After a decade, the business outgrew the location and relocated in October of 2019. The facility is modern, comfortable, completely remodeled and able to accommodate both large and small gatherings.

We have human and pet crematories onsite, along with a beautiful gathering room for visitations and funeral services. Additionally, we have a reception room for post service meals or informal funeral events.

Grace Funeral & Cremation Services is the only female owned funeral home in the greater Rockford community.
