Why Choose Us?

In the community since 1936, we've learned a lot about caring for families over the years. We realize that we aren't just caring for a loved one, but the entire family.
People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life through our Signature Services℠: such as a dove or butterfly release, bagpiper or motorcycle hearse. Our family is here to help your family every step of the way.
Learn The Legacy
Our professional staff welcomes you to the warm and friendly atmosphere of South Park Funeral Home, which has been serving the community since 1970. We’re here to listen and provide options to meet your needs. Whether you prefer cremation with a small family gathering or would like a large traditional funeral, you can trust us to assist you in planning and honoring your final wishes.
South Park Funeral Home is a full-service facility featuring three arrangement rooms, five visitation rooms and a beautiful 1,500-square-foot chapel with seating for 300 guests. Our funeral home also offers a coffee bar and snack area for the convenience of visitors.
South Park Cemetery
Gentle rolling lawns with quiet walkways, picturesque statues and well-maintained landscaping contribute to the solemn beauty of South Park Cemetery. Dating back to the mid-1930s, South Park is one of the oldest cemeteries in the area. This perpetual care cemetery offers traditional ground burial, mausoleum entombment, private family estate mausoleums and lawn crypts. South Park also has an on-site crematory for those who prefer cremation, along with many options for memorialization.
Four outdoor mausoleums can be found on our grounds: Ten Commandments, Last Supper, Praying Hands and Grace Garden, our newest development. Three water features—Water Babies, War Memorial and the cemetery’s signature Garden of Palms— grace the park-like atmosphere at South Park. Double-depth lawn crypts are available in Serenity Lawn, and lawn crypts and traditional ground burial are offered in the new Garden of Columns.
