Why family-OWNED MATTERS
Why Family-Owned Matters
We understand that when families visit Bryan-Lee Funeral Home, they are often coming during a difficult time. Our mission is to ensure that they receive all the services, support, and resources necessary to make an informed decision about their funeral service provider. However, some funeral service providers are not transparent about who is caring for these families in need. While these funeral homes may appear to be family-owned at face value, they are often owned by large corporate conglomerates. We consider it our honor to be able to serve our friends and neighbors, not an out-of-town CEO, which is why we never compromise on care. With a family-owned funeral home, you can feel the difference in more ways than one.
Caring for the Communities We Love
We answer only to the families and neighbors who make up our communities. What’s best for the families we serve is always aligned with what’s best for our business—because they are inseparable. We don’t answer to shareholders. We answer to you, the families we’re so honored to care for.
What's Right for You is What's Right for Us
Working with a corporate conglomerate can mean prices and policies are not set by the individual funeral home. But at a family-owned funeral home, we don’t have these restrictions. We listen and learn about the families we serve, and we provide individualized care tailored to their needs. Because what matters to you matters to us.
People-First Care
Every family we serve is an opportunity to build long-lasting relationships. We treasure these relationships, not transactions. The people we serve are always people to us, never numbers. We strive to provide them with the care they need as individuals and as families.
The Choice is Yours, Always
