About M. J. Edwards Funeral Home
M. J. Edwards Funeral Home is a long-established Memphis institution, though it is now owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — something families who prefer independent or locally owned businesses may want to factor into their decision. As a full-service funeral home, it offers the range of services you would expect, including traditional burial and funeral services, though specific details on cremation options, pre-planning, or veterans services are not available in our current data. Pricing information was not available at the time of this summary, so we recommend contacting them directly or requesting a General Price List, which all funeral homes are legally required to provide. Customers consistently rate the staff highly, with 4.6 stars across 187 Google reviews; reviewers frequently mention professionalism, compassion, and attentiveness from the time of arrangement through the service itself, with no notable complaint patterns appearing in available reviews.
