RECENT OBITUARIES
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 10 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
Last November, my brother passed away unexpectedly. My mother and I felt helpless and unsure – we live in another state and were not able to travel to make final arrangements for him, and we knew no one in Seattle. By the grace of God, we were directed to contact Emmick Family Funeral Home. We spoke with Desiree and with an amazing grace, she guided us through the entire process, assisted by her husband Michael. They handled all the arrangements and took care of my brother with so much care. Not only did they guide us through every step of the process of having my brother buried in a National Cemetery because he was a veteran, they were kind, compassionate, and so respectful of how my brother would have wanted his funeral to be handled. They asked questions and listened to his story – they went out of their way to do so many things for him – it brought tears to my eyes. My brother was laid to rest with respect – with tenderness – with dignity – with a funeral that we are confident would have pleased him. They attended his funeral and accepted the flag on behalf of our family – so my brother was not buried without mourners. The personal touches – the kindness – the love we felt from Desiree and Michael will never be forgotten. The sympathy and kindness they showed to my mother during this difficult time left me speechless. Thank you so very much. Anyone who must bury a loved one will be well served to reach out to Emmick Family Funeral Home. I will never forget them – their help and care were life changing for us.
