Joseph McPhee Funeral Directors has served families of all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds with dignity and compassion for the past 80 years. We will guide you through unfamiliar territory, make suggestions and help you create a send-off that will be both worthy of that person and also of immeasurable emotional value to you. Of all the services a funeral director offers, this is far and away the highest value.
Joseph McPhee Funeral Directors was founded on the belief that the funeral belongs to the client, not the funeral director. There is a better way to deal with death than the trappings of the corporate funeral industry. We offer a return to traditional values, beliefs, and cultural practices that are often compromised when a funeral costs too much. The growing trend toward personalized last rites and celebrations of life are really just a return to the ways our ancestors faced the realities of death. Coming from a funeral background where funeral directors knew the families they served, Joseph McPhee is accustomed to a high standard where the needs of families come first.
We provide the quality of service that every family deserves without the demand for profit that governs the corporate funeral world. We are forward thinking with the awareness of burial customs of all faiths and cultures, current trends, and client expectations, being flexible and working collaboratively with all families.
