History & Staff

Our Story

Learn the legacy

We've learned a lot about caring for families over the years. We realize that we aren't just caring for a loved one, but the entire family. People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life.

Our beginnings

Graceland Fairlawn got its start almost 100 years ago when a group of Decatur and Niantic men acquired 54 acres of land on the northwest edge of Decatur in 1919 to establish a modern perpetual care fund cemetery. Today, we've grown to almost 200 total acres of developed and undeveloped land and provide complete funeral services.

Acres of serenity

Our property features some of the most beautifully landscaped grounds in the area. Through this beauty, along with purposeful pathways and an ongoing commitment to honor those who are laid to rest, Graceland Fairlawn continues to give families the care and comfort they need by providing families with a final resting place of beauty and peace.

Strengthening our level of care

We furthered our ability to help the community by extending our service offerings to families through our merger with Moran & Goebel in 2011. The Moran name has been a fixture throughout Decatur and Macon counties for more than 125 years; and this relationship has only served to strengthen our ability to care for our families and provide constant and ongoing support to the communities we serve.
