Gearhart Funeral Home, located at 11275 Foley Blvd. NW in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, has been a trusted pillar of the community since its founding in 1972 by Tom Gearhart. From its inception, the funeral home has been built on a commitment to a high standard of service, blending tradition with innovation to provide compassionate care to families in Coon Rapids and the surrounding areas, including Andover, Blaine, Fridley, Ham Lake, and Johnsville. As part of the Dignity Memorial® network, Gearhart Funeral Home is dedicated to offering exceptional funeral and cremation services that honor the lives of loved ones with dignity and respect.

The funeral home specializes in both burial and cremation services, with a particular emphasis on personalized cremation options.

Gearhart is proud to offer unique memorialization options such as the Neptune Memorial Reef, an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida, and Celestis Memorial Spaceflight, which takes ashes into space. For those choosing cremation, the funeral home guarantees custody of care through a rigorous identification process, using only crematories operated by Dignity Memorial providers or trusted partners. All crematory operators are licensed and certified by the Cremation Association of North America (CANA), ensuring the highest standards of safety and respect.

Gearhart Funeral Home is also deeply committed to honoring veterans and nurses. The team works closely with families to create meaningful memorial services that celebrate the life and service of veterans. Additionally, the funeral home proudly sponsors The Nightingale Tribute, a special ceremony for registered or licensed practical nurses that includes a white rose, the Nightingale lamp, and a final call to duty, presented by the Nurses Honor Guard.

The funeral home features a spacious chapel that accommodates groups of all sizes, with amenities such as catering to allow families to spend more time together. The facility is wheelchair accessible with a free parking lot and on-site parking, ensuring comfort for all visitors.
