Hodges Funeral Home at Lee Memorial Park

Hodges Funeral Home at Lee Memorial Park, located at 12777 State Road 82 in Fort Myers, Florida, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Lee County since 1963. This full-service funeral home, crematory, and cemetery work in harmony to provide a wide range of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services to families throughout Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Gateway, and neighboring Southwest Florida communities. The funeral home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, which ensures a 100% service guarantee and access to a trusted national provider known for uncompromised quality and 24/7 availability.

The Spanish-style facility, which opened in 1989 and was fully remodeled in 2016, features bright, welcoming spaces reminiscent of a luxury Florida resort. It offers three distinct event rooms: the intimate Floridian with sea foam and Caribbean blue accents, the medium-sized Magnolia with wooden shelving for displaying photographs and mementos, and the premium Royal Poinciana with overstuffed chairs and modern sofas centered around a stone wall for displaying a casket or urn. This modern setting allows the dedicated staff to create deeply personalized tributes that celebrate a loved one's individuality—whether transforming the space into a Nascar fan's paradise, a fishing retreat, or an artist's studio.

Hodges Funeral Home takes pride in its private on-site crematory, giving families complete peace of mind that their loved one never leaves their care throughout the cremation process. The staff guides families through all cremation options, from direct cremation to witness cremation and full funeral services before or after cremation. Cremated remains may be interred in Lee Memorial Park Cemetery.

The adjoining Lee Memorial Park Cemetery spans 72 acres of beautifully manicured grounds featuring 14 gardens, stately palm and cypress trees, and a variety of burial options. These include traditional ground interment, mausoleum entombment, cremation gardens, and private family estates. In December 2016, the Sunrise Garden opened, offering ground burial spaces with upright monuments and private hedge estates along a pathway bordered by mature oaks. A dolphin fountain anchors the garden’s cremation placement options. The cemetery also includes dedicated sections such as the Garden of David for the Jewish faith and the Veterans Garden, which features a marble podium and service flags. With thirty acres still undeveloped, the cemetery continues to serve future generations. Each Memorial Day, Hodges Funeral Home hosts a ceremony with local VFW and American Legion chapters to honor veterans and places flags on every veteran’s grave.

Welcoming families of all backgrounds, religions, and cultures, the experienced team handles services for all faiths and offers veterans’ memorial services with full military honors. The funeral home also provides pre-planning options that include low-interest payment plans and up to 10% off cemetery property and funeral plans. From its serene, accessible location just east of the I-75 corridor, Hodges Funeral Home at Lee Memorial Park remains a trusted friend and neighbor, committed to helping families craft meaningful celebrations of life and ensuring every detail is handled with care.
