Stoddard Funeral Home

Stoddard Funeral Home & Cremation, in partnership with Sunset Memorial Gardens, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Greeley, Colorado, since its founding in 1978 by Paul and Virginia Stoddard. Originally located on the western edge of town, the funeral home has remained at its current address at 3205 West 28th Street, now centrally situated to serve the entire community. For over four decades, the Stoddard family’s commitment to high standards of service has guided every aspect of the business, ensuring that families receive personalized, professional support during their most difficult moments.

The funeral home offers a comprehensive range of services, including traditional burial, cremation, and memorial services. Its modern facility features a contemporary chapel, visitation rooms, comfortable arrangement spaces, and reception capabilities, allowing families to gather and honor their loved ones in a warm, welcoming environment. As part of the Dignity Memorial® network, Stoddard Funeral Home provides a 100% service guarantee, lifetime flexibility on pre-planned arrangements, and relocation protection—benefits that underscore their dedication to excellence and peace of mind.

Sunset Memorial Gardens, the affiliated cemetery on the same property, has served the Greeley area since 1952. Established on farmland west of town by W.D. and Deloss Dhority, the cemetery spans approximately 26 beautifully landscaped acres. It includes several distinct gardens, such as the Garden of the Christus, Garden of Devotion, a Veterans Garden, a Catholic Garden, and a Cremation Garden, as well as private estate options. In 1987, Sunset Memorial Gardens joined the Dignity Memorial network, and in 1995 it became a sister location of Stoddard Funeral Home, allowing families to seamlessly coordinate funeral and burial arrangements in one place.

The team at Stoddard is deeply rooted in the Greeley community. They are a Level One founding community partner with We Honor Veterans, ensuring that veterans and their families receive the benefits and respectful service they deserve. Staff members actively participate in local events, including an annual Easter luminary display with over 10,000 lights, a Memorial Day program featuring an Avenue of Flags, and sponsorships of the Greeley Independence Stampede, Judd Fulton Golf Tournament, and other community initiatives. Their dedication has earned them recognition, such as being named Evans Chamber of Commerce Partner of the Year.

Whether families need immediate assistance or wish to pre-plan, Stoddard Funeral Home & Cremation & Sunset Memorial Gardens offers compassionate, professional care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their locally recognized team is committed to honoring every life with dignity and respect, making them a trusted choice for Greeley and the surrounding area.
