HISTORY: The Griffin family has a long history in metro Detroit. In 1954, Larry and Gerry Griffin opened the doors to their first funeral home on Plymouth Road in Detroit. Working together as licensed funeral directors, they understood the meaning of commitment and provided quality service to all families. As their family grew over the years, so did their business. The Griffins opened their second funeral home in 1972, allowing them to serve Westland and its surrounding communities. Believing that every community deserves a place that will help them honor a family member, and seeing a need in the Canton area, they designed and built their Canton funeral home in 1992. That was closely followed by the addition of another funeral home in Livonia. Then, in March of 2014, the Griffins became the new proprietors of the Northrop-Sassaman Funeral Home in Northville.
But for the Griffin family, it's not just about building funeral homes; it's about building a tradition of quality service, high ethics, and community support. It's about honoring the achievements of loved ones, celebrating the life that was lived, and experiencing healing after loss. That's the Griffin "Family Tradition."
