In 1992, Doug, Terri, and 4 of their children, moved to Hannibal where
Doug assumed management of Grand View. (Their two youngest children are
native "Hannibalians"!)
Doug immediately became involved in local civic clubs and activities.
He is a member of Rotary and Lions and has served on both boards as well
as having served as Rotary's 1997 club president. From 1996 to 2002, he
also served on the Hannibal Y.M.C.A. board, which included two terms as

active member of Grandview Church and helps with their youth group.
Because of his belief in continuing education he has attended classes
offered at Hannibal LaGrange College.
Doug has a strong sense of responsibility to his community and its
betterment. He sponsors a Widow's Club through Grand View Funeral Home
each month and he and his staff deliver Meals on Wheels regularly.
Doug understands the part that Grand View has played in Hannibal's
colorful history. His desire is to continue that tradition through
professional, caring service to the community and by providing a
tranquil and beautiful environment for the families of the Hannibal
area.
 Norma Anderson, Funeral Director, and Sales Manager at
Grand View Funeral Home & Burial Park. Originally from Wright City,
Missouri, relocated to Hannibal in 1988. I am the mother of 2 daughters,
Yolonda and Sharde', and the grandmother of Michael, and Matthew, whom I
call my M&M boys.
I starting working at Grand View in 1998 I didn't realize the great
importance of people taking care of their arrangements in advance, how
important it is to save our loved ones from having to go through making
arrangements all alone. When I first came to Grand View it was just a
job to me, but now it has became so much more to me, having to assist
people who just had a great loss in their lives, know that their putting
their total trust in me to plan a memorable tribute for their love ones.
This line of work takes a special people, not everyone can do this line
of work, you must be compassionate, have a caring spirit, I love what I
do it is so much more than a job to me, the feeling of self worth when I
can help someone in their time of loss.
Working at Grand View has truly been a in my life, as God has blessed me
I will continue to bless others. If you have any questions or concerns
about funeral or cemetery arrangements, please feel free to give me a
call.
