Knollcrest Funeral Home was established in 1989. When Robert Van Staalduinen and his family purchased the land where the funeral home is today, there were trees, an old farmhouse, and a barn. Robert and his wife Elaine built and decorated the funeral home with the goal of creating a comfortable, home-like place where people could come during a difficult time.
