What is the history of Walnut Lawn Funeral Home?
Walnut Lawn Funeral Home, Ltd. was founded by the Wood and DeGraffenreid families in 1989. Prior to founding Walnut Lawn Funeral Home, the Wood family owned and operated Wood Funeral Home in Hartville, MO, where they also raised their three children - all licensed funeral directors.
Walnut Lawn Funeral Home was founded on the principles of providing high quality and respectful funeral services through "Tender Moments - Tender Care" by "Our Family Serving Your Family."
Walnut Lawn Funeral Home is one location, conveniently located at the corner of Walnut Lawn St and Kansas Expressway.
In 1993, the Wood family became the sole owners of Walnut Lawn Funeral Home. An onsite crematory was added in 2013. In 2018, Dr. Ruth Ann, daughter of Bobby and Ruth Wood, founders, became the second generation owner of the funeral home. Her son, Gabe Humiston, joined her in 2021 as a preneed agent, and the third generation to work in the family funeral home business. There are plans in place for Cherished Pets Funeral Home and Crematory, a new, one-of-a-kind pet crematory and funeral home in this Springfield area, to be opened in 2024/2025 - to further serve our cherished family pets. This will be operated by Dr. Ruth Ann's husband, Richard.
Along with the Wood-Humiston family, there is a wonderful, compassionate, professional team of directors and support staff who are at Walnut Lawn Funeral Home to honorably serve the Springfield area community.
