Our History

The Klaassen family has been active in the Tri-Cities community since the early 1900’s when Peter Klaassen came to Grand Haven. Pete married the former Nina Casemier, one of nine children of Henry Casemier, Sr., and Dave is one of Pete and Nina Klaassen’s three children. 

Dave Klaassen has been caring for the families of the Tri-Cities community since 1964 and bought the former Kammeraad Funeral Home in 1968. He has been very active in the Tri-Cities area over the years and has helped many families through a very difficult time. Dave is joined by his two sons, Scott and Kurt, who carry on a family tradition of quality and professional funeral and cremation care. Their family takes great pride in a dignified, compassionate service with a specialty of attention to every detail. 

Dave, Scott, and Kurt collectively have over 120 years of funeral experience serving families of all faiths and traditions. Together, the three of them opened what is now Klaassen Family Funeral Home on January 1, 2006, and it is the only Grand Haven family-owned and family-operated funeral home serving the cities of Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg, and the surrounding areas. 

The credo of "Our Family Serving Your Family" says it all. Our professional services are unending, and we are here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Klaassen Family is dedicated and committed to meeting the needs of each family they serve and will continue to serve for decades to come.
