Edwards Memorial Funeral Homes - University Place
Focused on Honoring Your Loved Ones
Understanding the diverse needs of Tacoma families, Edwards Memorial in University Place was founded with a clear vision: to offer a new type of funeral service that aligns with our community's preferences. Before we opened our doors, we engaged with the community to truly grasp what was needed - a service that prioritizes quality and affordability without the burden of unnecessary expenses.
Our mission at Edwards is to provide exceptional services at unbeatable prices, eschewing the costly construction of elaborate facilities in favor of a model that benefits every family we are honored to serve. This approach allows us to lower our overhead and, in turn, pass those savings directly to the families who entrust us with their loved ones.
We are deeply humbled by the trust placed in us and remain committed to offering compassionate, professional care that respects both the wishes of the departed and the needs of the bereaved. You will find personalized care at our three locations: Lakewood, University Place, and Federal Way.

I thank them for everything they did to help me get through this difficult time. I highly recommend reaching out to them if and when you are in need of funeral arrangement.
