About Us
DeGraff
Lakehurst Funeral Homes, Inc. is family owned and operated. Donald
& Wanda DeGraff opened their funeral home in 1979 as Lakehurst Funeral
Homes, Inc. in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has
a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s.
In the late 1980’s, their children started taking active rolls in running
the family business, together with their parents. A new generation
but still the quality service and commitment and compassion, that was taught
to them by their parents.
In 1991, we created DeGraff Cremation Services. A service
to target the public who wanted cremation, with all the many options and
services that tailor this type of disposition.
In 1996, we amended our business name to include our sir name, creating
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Homes, Inc. family owned and operated,
carrying out traditional funeral services and entombments with individual
personalized care and empathy.
The DeGraff ‘s take great pride in caring for each family on an
individual basis tailoring funeral needs to meet the publics individual
choices and options. The third generation of DeGraff’s are sometimes
seen on the premises, although to young to work they have been known to
put a smile on some faces. Truly, a family owned an operated funeral
home.
