About

Family Funeral Care has cared for Memphis-area families since 1996 . Since the beginning, our philosophy has been simple—listen intently to each family and provide the services they need at a cost they can afford.

Our staff are highly trained, caring individuals who believe every family is deserving of compassion and respect. Our singular focus is to help carry your burden by creating a bond of trust and understanding with every family that enters our doors.

Every life is significant and should be celebrated in such a way that their uniqueness shines and their legacy is honored. Personal, individual care is our hallmark and we would be honored to serve your family during this difficult time. 

Centrally Located

Conveniently located on US-79, near I-40 and I-240 in the center of Memphis, Family Funeral Care offers easy access to many of the area highways for you and your guests. We are in close proximity to Memphis cemeteries including Memorial Gardens and Memphis Memory Gardens and work closely with all local cemetery locations.

Newly Renovated Facilities

Chapel at Family Funeral CareHonoring your loved ones is at the center of what we do, and our recent remodel focuses on providing as much comfort as possible to grieving families. Our spaces provide a stately, warm and modern feel, with elegant, classic wood and soft finishes, including wood flooring throughout. Our red brick exterior offers an inviting welcome to guests.

Our renovated chapel has seating for nearly two hundred attendees, with the ability to convert our lobby areas for additional overflow seating. The reception room is a welcoming space for families to gather for luncheons and receptions, and our visitation rooms offer the flexibility for comfortable seating areas for family and friends to gather in smaller, more intimate groups or can be combined into one larger room. Schedule an appointment to view our facilities at your convenience.

"Every single thing was amazing and taken care of. We could not have asked for a better funeral home. Michael was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! He put as at ease with no pressure. His communication was impeccable. The DVD was beautiful! The obituary was lovely and the food was so good. We could not have survived this very tragic time without the outstanding support and guidance."
