Why Ballard-Durand?


Serving is all about putting others first. It’s about meeting real needs and being a trusted source of help when it matters most. In over 75 years, we have never forgotten that serving is our greatest calling and privilege.

I am so proud of our team. Each and every day, our Funeral and Cremation Specialists put their hearts and souls into celebrating life and honoring memories. Our free Community Outreach events provide healing experiences throughout the year to help those that are grieving get back to living well again. Our Advance Planning advisors help people make informed choices before a death occurs, so that their families will have peace-of-mind on the toughest day of their lives. All of our facilities are designed with the technology and functionality that put you, your family and your guests first.

We’re here for you, whenever you need us.

Please take the time to explore our website. Read about our amazing team members. Discover the many ways in which we capture, acknowledge and share life’s purpose. I know you will agree that no other Funeral Home or Cremation provider is able to serve your family the way that our family can.
