Chapel of the Valley-L.B. Hall Funeral Home is one of Southern Oregon's most respected funeral homes, serving the Rogue Valley for over 100 years. The care and compassion of our professional funeral directors continues each day with a renewed commitment to excellence. Lundberg's L.B. Hall Funeral Home, established in 1905, was located in the heart of Grant's Pass. Slawson's Chapel of the Valley was founded on the edge of town in 1973 to serve the families of southern Oregon. In 2003, the two funeral homes joined together to become Chapel of the Valley-L.B. Hall Funeral Home, providing an even higher level of service to the Grant's Pass community. Whether you prefer a small family gathering or a large, tradtional funeral, we're here to assist you in planning a tribute to best represent a life well lived. To provide families with comfort, Chapel of the Valley-L.B. Hall Funeral Home has two arrangement rooms and two visitation rooms available in its cozy, colonial-style building. Our lovely chapel provides seating for up to 125 guests. The funeral home has ample parking and is surrounded by small family farms, a country church and the Rogue River Valley Grange. Our funeral home is also close to Hawthorne Memorial Gardens and Granite Hill Cemetery. At Chapel of the Valley-L.B. Hall Funeral Home, we believe that every life is unique, and every funeral should be too. We celebrate life. And for those thinking about planning their arrangements in advance, we offer The Simplicity Plan® prearrangement program, an easy way to handle an important family responsibility.
