Grace Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens

Grace Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home was founded in 1970 by Melvin Scherer, a retired Air Force colonel, who invested in real estate in the early 1960s. As a community resident who attended many services at Hudson Cemetery, he recognized the need for a new cemetery for the community. 

At Grace Memorial, the main goal was to have a respectful, peaceful place to honor loved ones – one that would always be maintained. This was best accomplished in the 1970s by creating sections that were specific to a faith or organization. These sections are still available for flat memorials. In the 1980s, mausoleum entombment became a prominent request. Today, the cemetery features five mausoleum complexes.
