Piper-Morley Funeral Home

Piper-Morley Funeral Home, located at 11020 South Tacoma Way in Lakewood, Washington, is a legacy funeral service provider with deep roots in the community. Established in 1908 by Maude and George Piper in South Tacoma, the firm was later acquired by Fred Morley, whose name became synonymous with compassionate care and fair pricing for generations. For over a century, Piper-Morley served families throughout the Tacoma and Lakewood areas, earning a reputation for professionalism, dignity, and personalized service. Today, the funeral home operates as a legacy brand under the Altogether Funeral network, focusing exclusively on honoring existing pre-need agreements. The location is no longer open for new arrangements, and families experiencing a recent loss or seeking immediate assistance are warmly directed to Edwards Memorial Funeral Homes – Lakewood, which shares the same address and ensures continuity of care. Piper-Morley offers both burial and cremation services starting at $2,660 for burial (without visitation or formal ceremony) and $1,480 for direct cremation, which includes a basic cremation container and all essential services. These prices do not include caskets, urns, outer burial containers, cemetery costs, or additional fees for permits and death certificates. The funeral home’s facility is designed to accommodate diverse needs, featuring wheelchair-accessible restrooms and seating, and is noted as LGBTQ+ friendly, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and respect for all families. The staff is praised for being compassionate, professional, and guiding families through every step with care. While the physical location is now by appointment only for those with preplanned arrangements, the legacy of Piper-Morley continues through its partnership with Edwards Memorial, which provides a full range of services including traditional funerals, cremations, memorial ceremonies, and ash scattering. The same historic building, described as beautiful and warm, still stands as a place of solace and remembrance. Families interested in pre-need plans or seeking information about existing contracts can contact the team directly at (253) 200-5503. Piper-Morley’s enduring presence in Lakewood reflects a century-long dedication to celebrating each life with the dignity and respect it deserves, ensuring that even as operations evolve, the core mission of serving families with kindness and integrity remains unchanged.
