Grassby & Sons was founded in Dorchester by Benjamin Grassby, who moved to Dorset from Lincolnshire in 1861.Benjamin, a stone carver, was responsible for a lot of the stone carving in many Dorset churches during the Gothic revival of the late 19th Century.

The business has continued down through the generations of the Grassby family, and in 1970, Clinton Grassby opened Grassby Funeral Service in Princes Street. Clinton had already spent twelve years running a funeral business in Sidcup, Kent before returning to Dorset.

The premises in Princes Street were expanded in 2000 when the former stables on the old Dorset County Hospital site, directly opposite their existing premises, were purchased. These premises were sensitively renovated and provide additional offices and an additional Chapel of Rest.

Now run by the fifth generation, David, Andrew and Peter, the business continues to maintain a reputation for high standards throughout Dorchester and the surrounding area.
