Groce Funeral Home

Groce Funeral Home Since 1929, Groce Funeral Home & Cremation Service has paid tribute to the time-honored traditions o

At a time when many funeral homes are owned by mega-corporations listed on the national stock exchanges, Groce Funeral Home is bucking the trend by remaining a locally-owned family business. The Groce's feel strongly that we can serve Western North Carolina families better by remaining family owned and operated. Due to our reputation for integrity and the efforts of a dedicated staff, Groce Funeral Home has evolved into Western North Carolina's largest and most trusted funeral service provider. We are humbled to be validated and honored again by the Asheville Citizen-Times and the Mountain Express as their readers' choice for "The Best Funeral Home in Western North Carolina" for several consecutive years. We are proud members of Selected Independent Funeral Homes, the NFDA and NCFDA and are endorsed and approved by the Green Burial Council. Whether you're interested in burial, cremation, pre-need arrangements, green burial or transport to another part of the country or World, it is our pleasure to serve you at any of our three Asheville-area locations.
