Piper Morley Funeral Home

Over a Century of Exceptional Care

At Piper-Morley, our staff is committed to serving families with existing preplanned agreements. If you're seeking immediate assistance due to a recent loss, please contact Edwards Memorial – our trusted partners who are ready to provide the support you need during this difficult time.


Since 1908, Piper-Morley Funeral Home has been a pillar of the Lakewood, WA, community, founded by Maude and George Piper in South Tacoma. Renowned for "offering sincere services at fair prices" the Pipers established a legacy of compassion and generosity that resonates with families today.


In 1984, Fred Morley acquired Piper Funeral Home, merging it with Morley-Mellinger Funeral Home to continue serving the community from the historic Piper building. Today, Piper-Morley Funeral Home is a full-service provider, expertly crafting life celebrations and memorials that honor the unique lives of those who passed. Our team works closely with local cemeteries to ensure seamless care, upholding the Piper family's commitment to kindness, fair pricing, and community service. At Piper-Morley, we are dedicated to celebrating each life with the dignity and respect it deserves, and we are available to assist families at any time.
