About
Valhalla Funeral Home & Memory Gardens, located at 698 Winchester Rd. NE in Huntsville, Alabama, has served families in the North Alabama region since 1972. Founded by Ralph and Ruby Stubblefield, who began with 65 acres of undeveloped hillside land, the business initially opened as Valhalla Memory Gardens. Their vision was to create a peaceful, garden-like cemetery where families could bury or entomb their loved ones. Over time, the cemetery expanded with multiple mausoleums, including the Chapel of Devotion (Huntsville's first community mausoleum), the Chapel of Peace, and the Chapel of Love. In 1988, the Stubblefields realized their full vision by constructing the 20,000-square-foot Valhalla Funeral Home on the same grounds, allowing families to hold funeral services and burials without leaving the property. Today, Valhalla Funeral Home & Memory Gardens is part of the Dignity Memorial network, a trusted provider of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services.
The funeral home offers a wide range of services designed to honor each unique life. Traditional burials, thoughtful cremations, and modern celebrations of life are all available, guided by a professional team of experienced funeral directors. The facility features four spacious staterooms, a chapel that seats approximately 300 guests, and a private family area, all within a handsome Georgian-style building. The cemetery provides traditional ground burial, lawn crypts, mausoleum entombment, and cremation interment options. The grounds include nine gardens with distinctive features, such as life-sized sculptures carved from Italian Carrara marble by artist Dominic Zappia. Special sections like the Garden of Crosses and the Valor Garden honor veterans with dedicated lawn burial spaces. The cemetery's mausoleums also contain columbaria and niches for cremated remains, ensuring a dignified resting place for all.
Valhalla Funeral Home is committed to exceptional service and is available 24/7 to assist families. They offer prepayment plans, on-site services, and a 100% service guarantee. With a 4.7-star rating from 191 reviews, the business is known for its compassionate care and attention to detail. Wheelchair accessible entrances and parking, free on-site parking, and a catering menu for receptions further enhance the experience. The Stubblefields' legacy of treating families like their own continues under the Dignity Memorial network, ensuring that Valhalla remains a place of serene beauty, thoughtful remembrance, and trusted support for the Huntsville community.
