Emmick Family Funeral Services

Emmick Family Funeral Services A local, family-owned & operated establishment located in Seattle, WA offering compassionate, affordable end of life services to their Puget Sound community.

We would like to introduce you to Emmick Family Funeral Services, a local, family owned and operated company providing quality, affordable end of life services. Emmick Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services was founded on the belief that there are better, more effective ways to help people with the death of a loved one. Most funeral homes, cemeteries and cremation providers in the region have been sold to multi-national corporations. By being a local, family owned company, We cater to your needs with a personal touch. Our service mission is never compromised by accountability to far-off stockholders, we’re accountable to you. We provide your family with the highest level of quality service at a fair, honest price that your loved one deserves. We understand this and support the idea that you do not have to spend a great deal of money to properly remember a loved one. The Emmick Family has deep roots in West Seattle and decades of experience serving local families. Craig and his wife, Gayle grew up in the White Center/Burien area and raised their two sons, Matthew & Michael in West Seattle. Craig has been a licensed Funeral Director & Embalmer for over 40 years working in Seattle and West Seattle area funeral homes. His son, Michael, feels privileged to have witnessed his Father's compassionate work firsthand growing up because he was able to realize his calling from an early age, and began his career in the funeral profession over 10 years ago in his Father's footsteps. After completing his Apprenticeship and receiving his Mortuary Science degree from Pima Medical Institute in 2014, Michael was able to obtain full licensure as a Funeral Director & Embalmer. In early 2018, Michael married his wife, Desirée, who was a Funeral Director at another trusted funeral establishment at the time. Desirée was a welcomed addition to the family funeral home, as she has since provided the families we have the honor of serving with a wealth of creative insight, compassion, technical knowledge, and experience from her years in the funeral profession, and the similar call from an early age to help others in her heart. We are not like other funeral homes or cremation services. We are a fully licensed provider specializing in affordable cremation and burial services with no sales pressure like many, traditional funeral homes and cemeteries. Because we do not have a large funeral home facility with viewing rooms and chapels, we have lower overhead costs and which allow us to pass on those savings to families we serve. We can facilitate cremation & burial arrangements by telephone, online, email, in your home, or in our office facilities located in the heart of West Seattle between the Admiral District and the Alaska Junction. It doesn’t look or feel like a funeral home, because it isn’t. We’ve designed a casual and comfortable place to make the process easy to complete. To learn more we invite you to visit www.emmickfunerals.com. We’ll be pleased to show you our offices and answer your questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us at 206-935-2207
