About Us
We are proud to be a family-operated funeral home serving the Montrose area and western slope since 1988. Over the past 35 years we have grown by providing caring, personalized, and above all professional service to all of our families.
In 1957, in Jerome Idaho, Harry Crippin and wife, Marion, opened their hearts and doors to help families cope with the loss of loved ones. Harry and Marion soon built a family tradition of trust by providing sincerity, understanding, and graceful professionalism to all the families they served.
Our History
In 1988, sons Greg, Kirk, and Kelly Crippin joined their father to carry on “A Family Tradition of Trust” when they purchased the Monahan Mansion located in Montrose, Colorado on East Main Street. Since then, Greg and Kelly along with their wives, Julia and Carla, have continued to compassionately lighten the burden that one has when planning for and coping with the loss of a loved one.
In 1995, we purchased Grand View Cemetery, located west of Montrose. Grand View Cemetery offers a resting place, a veteran’s section, scattering garden, gazebo, and our latest addition – Serenity Cremation Gardens. We have an onsite crematory, as well as a newly designed chapel and casket display room. We are honored to serve and make available all of our facilities and services to all the family’s that place their confidence in us. Please feel free to call at any hour to speak directly to one of our members.
