Our Coon Rapids funeral home

Our caring funeral directors in Coon Rapids will help you create a tribute that honors your loved one with dignity and respect. We understand that losing someone is a personal experience, and we will guide you in creating a funeral or memorial service that celebrates life and showcases a person's passions and individuality.

WHV 2020 - Level 3We honor veterans

At Gearhart Funeral Home, we understand the unique needs of America’s veterans and their families. As a Level Three Founding Community Partner with We Honor Veterans, we have a staff who is knowledgeable in the benefits available to veterans and their families. With respect, integrity and dignity, we will walk you through the steps of creating a veteran's memorial service that truly honors the life and sacrifice of your loved one.

We also take pride in honoring other groups who play a vital role in the welfare of our community. Our sponsorship of The Nightingale Tribute, which recognizes nurses for their years of service, is just one example.

Spacious chapel for groups

Gearhart Funeral Home welcomes groups of all sizes. Our spacious chapel accommodates both small and large gatherings. We also offer amenities such as catering so you can spend more time with friends and family.

As a Dignity Memorial® provider, we have designed all of our services to help families through this emotional time. Our Coon Rapids funeral home associates provide the local attention you expect and the value you deserve. We'll be with you every step of the way, offering compassion and personal care.

Jackie the funeral home therapy dog

Experiencing loss and grief can be one of the most emotional, somber moments of life. Jackie, our beloved funeral home therapy dog, offers comfort to family and friends during this difficult time. Jackie’s steady and unwavering companionship helps to relieve stress and anxiety and provide a sense of consolation and calm to an otherwise stressful experience. Whether families are preparing to say their final farewells or going through the grief process after loss, Jackie is here to provide additional support and unconditional love when you need it most.

A special tribute to nurses

The Nightingale Tribute honors registered or licensed practical nurses at their memorial services. Presented by the Nurses Honor Guard, volunteer nurses who give back to their profession by providing this special ceremony for their colleagues, the tribute includes a white rose, the Nightingale lamp and a final call to duty. If your loved one was a nurse and you’d like to include The Nightingale Tribute as part of their service, please let us know.

Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"For each step of the process, someone was always available to answer questions and provide support. The pricing and choices were made available in printed form. The people who arrived at our home to take him into their care were professional but yet caring. We even shared a moment of laughter when I asked if any of their clients ever talked back to

them. The past few days had been somewhat overwhelming to our family and I thought we needed a chance to laugh. We also knew where he was and we would see him again someday."
