J. F. Croley purchased the Croley Hardware Company in 1890 and began an undertaking business as part of the hardware store's services. In 1920, a partnership was formed to run the business, and in 1933 the Croley Burial Association was formed. Croley Cook, nephew of J. F. Croley, built a new funeral home in 1946-47. The structure included a chapel with a seating capacity for 200 people. In 1979, a larger chapel was built and the facilities were renovated, and the company continues to serve the community.
