About Us | Kraw-Kornack Funeral Home

Since opening our doors, we’ve taken a unique approach to life and death. While many view the passing of a loved one as solely a time for grief, we see it as an opportunity for reflection, gratitude, and even celebration. This perspective shapes everything we do, from the services we provide to the thoughtful amenities we offer. We are not just a resting place; we are a close-knit community focused on honoring, sharing, and preserving the remarkable stories that define a life.

Over the years, we’ve learned how to offer choices without overwhelming families and how to address the needs of many with care. In times of difficulty, we respond with compassion, calm, and expertise. Our goal is to create a meaningful experience and make you feel at ease, every step of the way. We collaborate closely with families, stay informed about industry trends, and do our best to make challenging moments a bit more manageable.

Kraw-Kornack Funeral Home, Inc. has been dedicated to serving families for many years, and guiding individuals through their most difficult moments is our passion. We take great pride in maintaining a peaceful, supportive environment where families can find comfort. Celebrating life has always been our mission—and we are committed to that for years to come.
