Grissom-Martin working with families on new services

From Grissom-Martin Funeral Home

To the community we live and serve in:

Difficult times come with difficult decisions that have to be made, such as we are in now with the Covid-19 Pandemic.

No two funerals are the same and it has always been our goal that each family be able to honor their family member as they desire. Due to the recommendation from Governor Andy Beshear that funerals be limited to “Closest of Family” and “Private Burials”, it has become different for all of us. We are obligated to comply with this recommendation so that no further orders are announced that will cease what is being allowed now.



Here, at Grissom-Martin Funeral Home, we want to do our best to comply with the recommendations given to us and to do our duty in preventing the spread of the Coronavirus. While at the same time, we strive to serve the community and see that the family’s loved one receives the respect and honor that they deserve.

In doing this, we will be offering to each family the opportunity of recording the funeral service and uploading the service to the deceased’s obituary on our website (www.grissommartin.com). We feel this is a better alternative to live streaming because it allows family and friends to view at their convenience while still providing a privacy to the service.

During this time, we are offering this service to the family free of charge. If the family chooses to have this done, we will announce it on the obituary. We hope this additional service will be accommodating to the people who are unable to attend.

As always, people are encouraged to leave condolences on our website and we will give to the family after the service or you may call the funeral home and we will be happy to pass along any messages to the family.

We would remind you to continue to abide by the guidelines that have been set by the CDC and to continue to check on your neighbors and family members. We are all in this together and we hope it’s over sooner than later. Please call us with any questions or concerns, as we are here 24 hours a day to serve you.

Sincerely,
David & Cathy Martin
