Tuell McKee Funeral Home

Tuell McKee Funeral Home is a funeral home in Tacoma, WA. The firm provides funeral and cremation services, offering affordable cremation and traditional funeral packages to families in the Tacoma area and across Pierce County. It holds a rating of 4.6 from 18 reviews.

The business traces its history back to 1926, when the Tuell family first opened its doors to serve the Tacoma and Pierce County community with personal family care. In 1990, the McKee family carried on that tradition, and in 1992 the firm expanded with a Bremerton location, followed later by a third location in Puyallup, giving families three sites across Washington state to choose from. The staff includes licensed funeral directors and embalmers led by Thomas R. McKee, a funeral director and embalmer who entered the funeral industry in 1973 and holds a degree from the California Institute of Mortuary Science, and Carolyn Young-McKee, a fourth-generation Tacoma native and graduate of John A. Gupton College of Mortuary Science in Nashville, Tennessee. The firm also carries a pre-Planning representative and additional funeral directors and embalmers on staff. In April 2008, the United States Small Business Administration named Tuell-McKee the number one funeral home in Tacoma. Families can make arrangements either in person or online, and financing options are available to help with costs.

The funeral home is located on 6th Avenue, within a short distance of Hilltop Heritage Middle School. It sits near South Sprague Avenue and Division Avenue, with the 6th Avenue neighborhood close by.
