About

Located on Mercer University Drive in Macon, Georgia, Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home and Macon Memorial Park Cemetery have helped families honor their loved ones since 1936. Our funeral home team believes in tailoring a service to the individual, so the final memorial is as unique as the person it celebrates. Working together, the funeral home and cemetery provide funeral and cemetery services to families in and around Macon. We also serve communities throughout Bibb, Houston and Jones counties, including Lizella and Warner Robins.

A modern funeral home

Lobby at Macon Memorial Park Funeral HomeThanks to a large fireplace in the lobby, as well as contemporary lighting and furnishings, Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home is a warm, welcoming space. Renovated in 2017, the funeral home is 18,000 square feet, has a chapel and a number of rooms for arrangement, visitations and gatherings.

The 2 arrangement offices feature large televisions, comfortable executive-style chairs and conference tables. There are also private areas for discussing personal details.

The funeral home’s non-denominational chapel has seating for up to 220 guests. It’s a contemporary space with a raised platform at the front, stained-glass windows, new lighting, a musical keyboard, large monitors and modern audiovisual system with CD/DVD capabilities. If you would like us to, we can record a funeral service and deliver it to you on DVD.

Visitation spaces

Sitting area at Macon Memorial Park Funeral HomeThe funeral home has 4 visitation rooms: Cherry Blossom, Wesleyan, Ocmulgee and Mercer. With neutral colors and comfortable couches, these rooms are ideal for all sorts of gatherings, including small intimate services.

Cherry Blossom and Wesleyan are separated by a partition, as are Ocmulgee and Mercer. Depending on the ceremony, we can open the partitions to join the rooms and accommodate larger gatherings. Our visitation rooms are flexible spaces, and families often use them for gatherings after funeral services.

Personalized memorials

Our funeral directors and funeral home team work with you one on one to create a memorial service as unique as your loved one.

Over the years, we have created many touching tributes, including a funeral procession led by a John Deere tractor and trailer for a John Deere lover. We've also brought a race car on our front porch for an avid NASCAR fan. For services honoring fallen firefighters, we have arranged for the funeral processional to pass beneath extended fire truck ladders. From a horse-drawn carriage to a dove release, the personalization options are vast.

Additionally, our funeral home team includes bilingual team members and a certified funeral celebrant who specializes in creating a ceremony that uniquely expresses the personality, lifestyle and interests of your loved one. Our celebrant can conduct a ceremony on their own or in concert with traditional clergy. The choice is yours.

History

In 1936, E.B. Swallum assumed ownership of Macon Memorial Park Cemetery, which was founded in 1934 by his business acquaintance. With the goal of creating a serene, park-like environment, E.B. owned and operated the cemetery until his death in March 1979.

The cemetery had various owners in the years after. Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home was built on the cemetery grounds in 1998.

Today, Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home and Macon Memorial Park Cemetery are members of the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest provider of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers in North America. Over the years, the businesses have evolved to meet the growing needs of the Georgia community, but our commitment to compassionate care has never wavered.

Committed to community

At Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home, we believe it’s our duty to give back to the community. For more than 20 years, we have participated in the Toys for Tots program, sponsored by the United States Marine Corps during the holidays.

Additionally, Macon Memorial Park Cemetery welcomes the public for services on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. For both of these events, we decorate the cemetery property with flags, host a Catholic mass and invite a high-ranking military official to speak.

"This is one of the most stressful time of my adult life. I appreciated the fact the planning my father's funeral was the least stressful event for me right now. The people who work there put their lives on the line so that we can have closure in such a dangerous time. They truly do not get the recognition they deserve."
