Bethel Grove Funeral Home

Homegoing services on the South Side, with a chapel that seats a full choir and a hall for the repast afterward.

About this funeral home

Origin story

Ozella Grant and her brother bought the building in 1971 after the home their family had used for two generations closed with a week's notice. Neither of them had planned on funeral work. Her grandson is the director now, and the second Tuesday grief meeting has run without a break since 1979.

Why families choose us

Our chapel was built for singing. That sounds like a small thing until you have sat through a homegoing in a room that swallowed the organ, so we say it plainly: the room holds two hundred and twenty, the choir loft holds thirty, and the sound is good. The hall downstairs seats a hundred and thirty for the repast, and families are welcome to bring their own food or to use one of the caterers we know. We are a veteran-serving home, so honors, the flag and the headstone application are things we do weekly rather than look up. Our grief ministry meets here on the second Tuesday of every month, and it is open whether or not we buried your person.

Common questions

How do we get your price list?

Ask us and it is yours — in your hand when you walk in, or in the mail or your inbox the same day if you would rather not come in yet.

Can we hold the repast in the same building?

Yes. The hall downstairs seats a hundred and thirty, and you may bring your own food or use a caterer of your choosing.

Do you arrange military honors?

We do, including the flag, the honor guard request and the headstone application. Bring the discharge papers if you have them and we will file for them if you do not.

Is the grief meeting only for your families?

No. It meets the second Tuesday of every month at seven, and anyone on the South Side is welcome whether or not we handled the funeral.
