History

Lester R. Grummons Funeral Home is the successor to the Rothery-Murphy Funeral Home. Walter Rothery founded the firm in 1922 and was active until his death in 1953. In 1954, John D. Murphy moved his family to Oneonta, New York, and carried on the traditions of Rothery until 1970, at which time he passed away. In 1970, Lester and Sharon Grummons purchased the funeral home from Murphy’s widow.

A successful funeral business

Throughout the years, Les Grummons has continually improved and upgraded the funeral home facility and created and maintains an award-winning landscape of summer flowers and shrubs. He is still active with our funeral home's business. He also serves on several local Oneonta boards and maintains active memberships in various service clubs.

An enduring legacy

Today, we are a member of the Dignity Memorial network of funeral and cremation service providers. For nearly a century, we have provided compassionate and professional care to the Oneonta community and look forward to serving many more generations.
