In 1952, Dewey S. Hastings and his wife, Mary, purchased the property at 153 Spruce Street and established Hastings Funeral Home, which has grown significantly with the support of the local community and beyond. Today, it stands as the largest single provider of funeral and cremation services in the region.

The Hastings family welcomed their two sons, Dan and Dewey, into the business. Young Dewey has since retired, and Dewey Sr. passed away in September 2023. Grant Hastings, Dan's son, joined the staff as a full-time licensed funeral director and represents the third generation of the Hastings family to serve.

Over the years, the funeral home has undergone numerous enhancements, including building additions, remodeling, property acquisitions, and parking lot expansions. We offer three elegantly furnished visitation rooms, valet parking upon request, a well-lit parking lot with ample off-street spaces, and an unparalleled funeral planning and merchandise area. For guests seeking a break, we provide two lounges equipped with a coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, café tables, and various other amenities.

For over 30 years, we have operated our own crematory, catering to those who prefer cremation as their final disposition. Our professional staff is highly knowledgeable and trained in all aspects of cremation, including service options, religious beliefs, regulations, and legal considerations.

Our team consists of licensed funeral directors with over 150 years of combined experience in the funeral industry, licensed crematory operators, a full office staff including a notary and licensed insurance agent, and many part-time staff members to support our services.
