I want to thank Beth Baker and her team at Grant-Johnson for the wonderful care they took of Mom after her passing and all of our family through the funeral process. Excellent communication. Calm, caring manner. Professional execution of every detail. The Naffziger family highly recommends Grant-Johnson Funeral Home.
