Compassion and family tradition are two qualities emphasized at L.J. Griffin Funeral Home, which opened its doors in Detroit in 1954. Brothers Larry and David Griffin followed in the footsteps of their parents, Larry and Gerry Griffin, in becoming funeral directors. Customized memorial services can include live musicians, memorabilia displays, photo collages and specific religious, ethnic or fraternal group traditions. The funeral home also provides general education on funerals, online preplanning and grieving resources.
