Welcome
"We would like to introduce you to Emmick Family Funeral & Cremation Services, a local, family owned and operated company providing quality, affordable end of life services.
Emmick Family Funeral Services was founded on the belief that there are better, more effective ways to help people with the death of a loved one."
Most funeral homes and cemeteries in the region have been sold to multinational corporations. In being a very small, local, family-owned and operated company, we serve our community with a personal touch. Our service mission is never compromised by accountability to far-off stockholders, we are accountable to you. We provide your family with the highest level of quality service at a fair and honest price that your loved one deserves. We understand and wholeheartedly support the idea that you do not have to spend a great deal of money to properly remember a loved one.
The Emmick Family has deep roots in West Seattle and decades of experience serving local families. Craig and his wife, Gayle, grew up in the White Center/Burien area and raised their two sons, Matthew & Michael, in West Seattle. Craig has been a licensed Funeral Director & Embalmer for over 40 years, and worked in Seattle and West Seattle area funeral homes throughout his career. His son, Michael, feels privileged to have witnessed his Father's compassionate work firsthand growing up because he was able to realize his calling from an early age, and began his career in the funeral profession 9 years ago in his Father's footsteps. After completing his Apprenticeship and receiving his Mortuary Science degree from Pima Medical Institute in 2014, Michael was able to obtain full licensure as a Funeral Director & Embalmer. In early 2018, Michael married his wife, Desirée, who was a Funeral Director at another trusted funeral establishment at the time. Desirée was a welcomed addition to the family funeral home, as she has since provided the families we have the honor of serving with a wealth of creative insight, compassion, technical knowledge, and experience from her years in the funeral profession, and the similar call from an early age to help others in her heart.
We are not like other funeral homes or cremation services. We are a fully licensed provider specializing in cremation and burial services with no sales pressure like many, traditional funeral homes and cemeteries. Because we do not have a large funeral home facility with viewing rooms and chapels, we have lower overhead costs which allows us to pass on those savings to the families we serve. We can facilitate cremation, burial, & aqua cremation arrangements by telephone, fax, on-line, at your home, or at our office, which is located in the heart of West Seattle between the Admiral District and the Alaska Junction. Our office does not look or feel like a funeral home, because it isn’t. We’ve designed a casual, home-like place to make the process easy and comfortable to complete.
To learn more, we invite you to browse our website. We would be pleased to show you our offices and answer your questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We honor all pre-existing and pre-funded funeral & cremation arrangements, including Memorial Association members.
Please never hesitate to call us any time at (206) 935-2207 with general inquires, or to schedule an appointment today.
Yours Truly In Compassionate Service,
Michael, Desirée, & Craig Emmick

What Our Families Say TESTIMONIALS
Emmick Family Funeral Services is a local family business in West Seattle that I highly recommend. There’s always a story behind each story, and I’m known amongst friends to get long winded with mine, but let me cut to the chase. Earlier this year, my Girlfriend’s Dad passed away, and needing to find a funeral service to handle the arrangements, I’d recalled that I had a conversation with a young man in my alley who I’d stopped to talk with him about his car. That young man was Michael Emmick, and during our conversation he told me about his family’s business.
So, upon searching, I located Michael and Emmick Family Funeral Services. It was that first encounter with Michael that he gave me such a very positive impression of himself that stayed with me upon a difficult time. I contacted Michael, and we then met with him at their very comfortable office setting here in West Seattle on California Avenue. Michael was amazingly compassionate, diligent, and dedicated to assisting us. Michael is cut from the cloth of a generation that was similar to our Grandparents, he’s just an all around good young man, who knows the value of caring for his clients. His family is very considerate and helpful. Michael went above and beyond our expectations to deal with a situation that was not easy, and he portrayed the most respectful approach to it all.
We can’t say enough about how much we appreciate Michael, his family, and Emmick Family Funeral Services.
PS I forgot to mention, that due to their smaller size business wise, their cost of handling the arrangements were very affordable.
