WHY CHOOSE SYKES FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY?

On the escalating cost of funeral service...

The cost of funeral services to the consumer has increased significantly in the last decade due to the consolidation of funeral business and the overbuilding of funeral homes by individual owners. Large public companies paid exorbitant prices for funeral homes and were expected to produce hefty profits. Who provides those hefty profits? The familes that they serve. Although many consumers are looking for modest price services, many independent owners are building multi-million dollar funeral homes with lavish furnishings. Who pays for these large elaborate funeral homes? The families that they serve !

Americans beleive in funerals but want better value...

This is not a new idea, just an old idea whose time has come around again.  Fifty years ago, visitations and funerals were held in a home or church or a modest funeral home facility. By keeping the overhead low, the funeral home was able to offer attentive services at a modest price.

Now, Sykes Funeral Home & Crematory is bringing funeral service full circle by renewing old and sensible traditions. We are convinced that offering services at a fair price to families not only make sense, but is an ethical obligation.
