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.

The staff at Edwards Memorial were very kind and helpful. They helped me and my sister to get through the process for our Mother.

Everyone we encountered through the planning of my dad’s services were amazing. All very kind, empathetic, patient, warm and helpful. The staff didn’t act like salespeople so my mom and I never felt rushed or pressured to make decisions. During the viewing of my dad, he looked absolutely peaceful and so natural. The service couldn’t have been more beautiful. The arrangement the staff did was more than I expected. My dad was so neat and clean, and they didn’t overdo the makeup so he looked very handsome and natural. The pastor they recommended was also amazing. Pastor Larry took his time getting to know us and my father. The cremation process was fairly quick. I had my dad back in my arms in no time. Not to mention, although they don’t accept payment plans, the cost was very reasonable. Marissa Rose took care of my family and we are blessed to have gone through Edwards Memorial.
