Queen City Funeral Home, Inc.

The business is proudly veteran-owned and women-owned, reflecting its deep commitment to serving the community with integrity and care. Founded and run by Mike and Tracy Lee, the funeral home draws on a rich family heritage that dates back to 1868 when Tracy’s great-great-grandfather, Thomas G Zylks, moved the family to the area after a knee injury sustained during the Civil War. This pioneer spirit has instilled a mission to serve and improve the region, with a focus on offering a better funeral experience for every family.

Queen City Funeral Home provides a comprehensive range of services designed to meet diverse needs and budgets. Full-service traditional burial with visitation is available at a transparent price of $4,268, tailored to each family’s unique expectations. For those preferring cremation, the funeral home offers cremation with a memorial service starting at $1,560, allowing flexibility in timing and personalization. An online direct cremation option is also available for $1,248, offering a simple yet caring solution that gives families time to plan a meaningful tribute. All services include certified grief counseling and ongoing support, even after the services have concluded.

The funeral home’s facility is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible entrance, parking lot, and restroom, ensuring all visitors are accommodated. Onsite services and language assistance are available to meet diverse needs. The business also accepts most existing pre-arrangement plans and insurance policies from other funeral homes, providing continuity for families.

Beyond traditional funeral services, Queen City Funeral Home engages the community through unique initiatives. In 2024, the Lees established the “Love Notes Band,” a family musical group that visits elder care facilities in the Ark-La-Tex region to bring joy and combat loneliness among residents. The band performs sing-alongs and leaves positive bookmarks, scheduling two facility visits each Monday. Additionally, Tracy Lee, a funeral director, author, and freelance writer, shares insights through her blog “Pushing Up Daisies” and a podcast titled “Deadline,” which shares true stories from a funeral director’s life. The funeral home also offers online memorials, grief resources, and a sister website, Mourning Coffee, for additional encouragement.

Families consistently praise the kind, professional, and superior service provided by Queen City Funeral Home. The staff, comprised of dedicated licensed professionals, is available to guide families through every arrangement decision, making each service as unique and personal as the loved one being honored.
