About Groce Funeral Home - Lake Julian

Groce Funeral Home in Arden, North Carolina is an independently owned funeral home, which generally means families work with consistent local staff rather than rotating corporate personnel. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to handle both cremation and traditional burial arrangements. Their starting prices for direct cremation and traditional burial are both in the range of $2,600–$2,700, which positions them as a mid-range option in the western North Carolina market. On Google, they hold a 4.6-star rating across 22 reviews, which reflects positively, though the relatively small number of reviews means there is limited information to identify consistent patterns in either praise or concern.

There is no better funeral home than Groce. I am a little late posting, my husband died in July. Scott and the others were very loving and kind. They couldn't help us enough. It was a pretty long funeral and and very hot. I know how worn out they must have been. Scott was our director. His the best.
