About Swilley Funeral Home & Cremation Services Inc

Swilley Funeral Home & Cremation Services Inc is an independently owned funeral home serving the Tampa area, which means families are typically working directly with local ownership rather than a regional or national corporation. They offer both cremation and full funeral services, covering the range of needs most families encounter during a difficult time. Direct cremation starts at $795, which is notably affordable and likely positions them on the budget-friendly end of the Tampa market. On Google, they hold a 4.8-star rating, though the 24 reviews represent a relatively small sample, so families may want to seek additional firsthand referrals before making a final decision.
