It is with deep sadness — and yet with great hope — that I share the passing of my grandfather, Frederick “Fred” Grisier, the patriarch of the Grisier Family and former owner of Grisier Funeral Homes.

For more than six decades, my grandfather devoted his life to serving families with care, compassion, and integrity. He poured his heart into this calling — not just as a funeral director, but as a friend and neighbor to so many. His greatest joy came from the people and the communities he loved — especially his beloved hometown of Stryker.

Fred embodied the very spirit of service that our family has built its legacy upon. His steady presence, kind words, and quiet strength were a comfort to countless families through some of life’s hardest moments. He was a mentor to me and to many others, showing us that service is not just a profession, but a ministry of compassion, dignity, and love.

As a family, we find comfort in the words of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, which reminds us not to grieve as those without hope, for “we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.”

While we mourn the loss of our grandfather, we rejoice in knowing his faith is now made sight, and his life’s work continues through each of us — his family, his friends, and the communities he so deeply cared for.

On behalf of the Grisier Family, I thank you — the families of Archbold, Wauseon, Stryker, and beyond — for loving my grandfather as your own. His impact will forever be felt in the lives he touched, the traditions he began, and the compassion he inspired in us all.

With gratitude and remembrance,

Adam Grisier
and the entire Grisier Family and Funeral Home Staff

As many of you know, Todd and Sabrina officially retired from Grisier Funeral Homes this year. We are deeply grateful for their more than 40 years of faithful service to our families and communities. Though they have retired, we are blessed that they will continue to live in our community — and you may still see them around the funeral home lending a helping hand.

Because of their retirement, for the first time in over 100 years, the Archbold funeral home will be transitioning from a residence into a more serviceable funeral home space. We will be staying in the same historic building, but adapting it to better serve families while still honoring its history.

We kindly ask for your patience as we make these updates to our historic and beautiful building.

We are humbled and blessed to continue serving the Archbold area, walking alongside families with the same care and compassion that has defined Grisier Funeral Homes for generations.

-Adam Grisier

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — We Remember 🇺🇸
Today, we pause to honor the lives lost, the heroes who rose in courage, and the resilience of our nation. May we never forget the strength that came from unity on that day, and may we continue to live with gratitude for the freedoms we share.

✦ Isaiah 40:31
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

💙 Plan Ahead, Protect Your Family’s Tomorrow

Life can be unpredictable—but your loved ones shouldn’t have to face the uncertainty of “What would they have wanted?” when the time comes.

Pre-arranging your funeral or cremation wishes is a loving gift you can give your family. It:
✅ Ensures your wishes are clearly known and honored
✅ Relieves your family of making difficult decisions during an emotional time
✅ Locks in today’s prices, protecting against future cost increases
✅ Gives you peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of

At Grisier Funeral Homes, we make pre-arranging simple, personal, and stress-free. We’ll walk you through every detail—at your pace, with no pressure.

📞 Call us today or visit us to start the conversation. Your family will thank you.

🌿 Sunday Thoughts 🌿
In a world that moves fast and never seems to stop…
Sunday reminds us to slow down.

To rest.
To reflect.
To reconnect.

Whether it’s gathering around the table, sharing quiet moments, or simply breathing in the peace of a slower pace — may today be a day to enjoy your people, recharge your spirit, and thank God for both.

From our family to yours, may your Sunday be full of grace, gratitude, and rest. 💙

🌤 “God doesn’t just move mountains… sometimes He hands you hiking boots.” 🥾⛰️

Not every obstacle vanishes — sometimes, He strengthens us to climb it.

But take heart:
“The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs… and strengthen your frame.”
— Isaiah 58:11

So lace up, trust the path, and know He’s with you every step of the way. 💪🙏

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. Some days are heavier than others.
But even in the darkest night, morning still comes.

If you’re walking through sorrow right now, may the rising sun remind you:
You are not forgotten.
You are not alone.
And healing—slow and quiet—is still happening.

Let today bring you peace.

Our Story

The Grisier family started in the funeral business in Stryker, Ohio in 1896. William and his wife, Margaret were the first generation in the business and turned the business over to his son, Wendell P. Grisier in 1909. Wendell and his wife, Frances ran the business and in 1936 his son, William (Bill) and his wife Helen Grisier joined the family operated funeral service.

In 1944, the Grisier's purchased a funeral home in Archbold, Ohio. At that point the Grisier's operated the business' together until William and Helen's son, Fred, came back to help with the businesses in 1958. In 1981, Fred's son, Todd, joined the firm upon Bill's retirement. In 1988, Scott, also Fred's son, joined the business and in 1991 the Grisier's purchased the former Edgar Funeral Home in Wauseon, Ohio.

In 1996 the Grisier's consolidated the Wauseon operation into the Edgar-Grisier location. In the fall of 2002, the Grisier family purchased the former Miller Funeral Home in Delta. In 2019, Grisier Funeral Homes welcomed generation number six back into the business in Adam Grisier.

Today, Todd, along with director David Fox, Jr. and apprentice Adam Grisier, and with the assistance of Bill Chester, Don Krieger, and Rebekah Boysel operate the four funeral homes, working hard to serve their communities with honor, excellence, and humility.
