Edwards Memorial Funeral Homes - Lakewood
Dignified, Affordable Care in Lakewood
At Edwards Memorial, our dedication to serving the Tacoma community is reflected in our commitment to offering quality services at an unbeatable price. Recognizing that Washington State has one of the highest cremation rates in the country, we've tailored our approach to meet the specific needs of our community. Instead of investing in costly, elaborate facilities that are seldom used, we minimized our overhead expenses, allowing us to extend significant savings directly to the families we serve.
Our efforts to innovate go beyond cost-saving measures; we are deeply committed to providing compassionate, professional, and affordable care. Our modern chapel allows families to gather and remember in a setting that honors the life lived.
Additionally, we take pride in our specialized veteran's services, recognizing the unique needs of those who have served our country. Our team is knowledgeable about the benefits and honors available to veterans, and we ensure that every service reflects the dignity and respect they deserve.
Choosing the right funeral home is a significant decision, and we are honored that so many families continue to trust Edwards Memorial. We serve families in Lakewood, University Place, and Federal Way.
