HistoryIn 1986, Bill Smith, former owner of Houghtaling & Smith Funeral Home, Inc. in Canajoharie, purchased part ownership of the Swartz Funeral Home on Center Street in Fort Plain. He became sole owner of the funeral home in 1991. He was later to use this facility to house the newly formed company known today as Gray-Houghtaling & Smith Funeral Home. The Gray Funeral Home had been a Fort Plain institution since 1894 when it was known as the Dwandler and Gray Funeral Home . It operated under different owners through the 102 years until the business was blended with Houghtaling Funeral home. Our funeral home building on Center Street in Fort Plain dates back to the Erie Canal days. There have been many additions to the historical building over the years. Additionally, the building is handicapped accessible with spacious handicapped restrooms. The chapel seats over 100 people. There is a parking lot for the convenience of family and friends.SpecialtiesWe have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life.
