Smith Funeral Homes - Grinnell and Victor, Iowa

Since 1969, the Smith Funeral Home has provided quality, affordable granite monuments. A monument is a symbol of one's life. It can characterize what one enjoyed doing in his / her life and is a place where one can go remember their loved one.

With our local indoor display, our families can feel and see the actual granite color and design before making any final decisions. We also have a large book of monument designs compiled from over the years to choose from, which include various lettering styles, engraving options, and our new laser etching options. A family can bring in a picture of a family portrait, the family farm, a hunting expedition, or a symbol of an individual's occupation and we can digitally remaster the photo and laser etch the design onto the monument itself.

We first consult with our families to give them options with designing their monument. We will then sketch the monument design in order for the family to see what the monument would look like with the lettering style and any engravings or etchings. Upon approval, the monument is then crafted and delivered to the cemetery of choice in a matter of a month's time.

We also carry a complete line of cemetery vases, bronze markers, and cemetery ornaments to choose from.

If you would like to set up an appointment to have your monument designed, please contact Joel, John or Bill at 641-236-3134.
