Now available to meet your desire for a personalized Celebration of Life to honor your loved one –

As a Celebrant, Geoff Piper is a specialist in planning and facilitating Chapel, Graveside or special location ceremonies that are highly personalized. These events provide a great degree of flexibility and creativity to suit the unique personality of the person who died and to express the love of those who attend. People who are “spiritual but not religious” or have no local church affiliation are encouraged to consider a Celebrant led ceremony. New Tacoma Funeral Directors can connect you with Geoff to plan the tribute most meaningful to you and the surviving family and friends.

Please give us a call; we are available 24 hours a day to assist you when needed. Our promise is to assist any family in need, regardless of financial ability. One thing that makes us more unique among larger area cemeteries is that New Tacoma Cemetery is a registered "not for profit" cemetery, meaning our profits are reinvested into our property rather than going to an out of state "corporate office". When you buy an interment right for burial or placement at New Tacoma, you actually become an "owner" of the cemetery.

I promise the staff of New Tacoma will act with compassion, integrity and honesty in helping you each step of the way.
