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.

My mother passed away in 2010 and my Father passed away in 2017. Both times I received the best support and service. They made the decisions as painless as possible. Very respectful and patient with every decision that had to be made. I hope to be able to take care of my requests for my cremation before I pass away that way they don’t need to. I will definitely be using them for all of my family members that pass before me.

Our experience with Edwards Memorial was outstanding. They provided very clear understanding of the the process. Heather Lyons, who handled the majority of the interaction, could not have made this difficult time any easier. I would highly recommend using Edwards Memorial to any in the greater Tacoma area.
