About Lloyd James Funeral Home
Lloyd James Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home in Tyler, Texas, operating as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in North America — families who prefer an independently or locally owned provider may want to note this distinction. They offer a range of services including traditional burial and memorial services, with the staff appearing well-equipped to coordinate all elements of a service including flowers, setup, and graveside arrangements. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so we recommend requesting an itemized General Price List directly from the funeral home to compare costs against other Tyler-area providers. On Google, Lloyd James holds a 4.5-star rating across 81 reviews, with customers frequently praising the staff's compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness throughout the arrangement process; one reviewer did note a concern about a promised portrait not being delivered at the service and some confusion around death certificate timelines, so families may benefit from getting key commitments confirmed in writing.
