About Parkway Funeral Home & Parkway Memorial Cemetery
Parkway Funeral Home & Parkway Memorial Cemetery is located in Ridgeland, Mississippi, and is owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), one of the largest corporate funeral home chains in the country — families who prefer locally or independently owned providers may want to keep that in mind. As a full-service provider with an on-site cemetery, Parkway can handle burial, cremation, and memorial services in one location, and reviewers mention the option to hold services at the Reed House at Live Oaks, a distinctive outdoor setting that some families have found meaningful. Pricing information was not available for direct comparison, but one reviewer flagged significant sticker shock over a $3,000 charge to open and close a burial plot, suggesting costs may run on the higher end — it's worth requesting an itemized price list before committing. Parkway holds a 4.7-star rating across 63 Google reviews, with staff members — particularly one named Rendi Hernandez — receiving repeated praise for patience and compassionate support; however, at least one long-term customer expressed concern that cemetery upkeep declined after the SCI acquisition, which may be worth asking about during a visit.

a month agoWell, I’ll leave my review as I told the girl who helped me. I’m so very very ashamed for you that you have no sorrow for the ridiculous prices that you charge. I was absolutely stunned and blown away with discussed that you would be bold enough to charge a family $3000 to open and close a burial pl…

5 months agoOur experience with Parkway was top of the line. Rendi Hernandez worked closely with us during the entire process from beginning to end. She was fabulous and I can’t say enough good things about our experience with her. Her quiet patience and ongoing support and availability assisted us during a ver…

a year agoThis was once the premier cemetery for Madison County until SCI Dignity purchased it a long time ago. In 200I, I purchased a companion crypt in their mausoleum for my parents. My father passed in 2006 at which time the streets needed paved and the building maintenance was suspect. In August of 20…
★★★★★Kathryn Merrell
a year agoThank you to Parkway for a lovely funeral service for my husband at a very special location for our family The Reed House at Live Oaks. Under the oaks we felt so close to God and having friends speak eulogies and the bagpiper fade away with Amazing Grace was lovely.
