Funeral Homes in the Olympia, Washington Metro Area

In the Olympia, Washington metropolitan area, Funeral Alternatives of Washington operates two locations serving families across the South Sound region. The locations are situated in Tumwater and Lacey, providing coverage across the core communities of the Olympia metro area including Tumwater, Lacey, Olympia, and surrounding Thurston County communities. Across both locations, families have access to burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, reception and catered events, veterans services including military honors, ash scattering assistance, and certified celebrant services.

Funeral Alternatives of Washington - Tumwater, the original flagship location of the brand, has served the South Sound area since 2002. The location is situated within the historic Masonic Memorial Park — established in 1852 by the Olympia Masonic Lodge #1 and among the largest and oldest cemetery properties in Thurston County — in the South Sound Manor building, a facility specifically constructed to avoid the appearance of a traditional funeral home. The Tumwater location includes a chapel and reception and event space, and accommodates identification and private viewings. Families consistently describe the arrangement process as clear and well-managed, noting proactive communication and straightforward explanations of available options.

Funeral Alternatives of Washington - Lacey opened in 2010 as the second location in the brand. The facility includes a chapel, an on-site crematory, a cremation viewing suite, and accommodates identification and private viewings. Families consistently name individual staff members across reviews, reflecting a pattern of personal attention at the team level.

Families choosing between the two locations typically weigh factors including proximity to home or a preferred cemetery, whether on-site cremation is a priority, and the availability of reception and event space for post-service gatherings. The Tumwater location offers reception and catered event space within its facility. The Lacey location offers on-site cremation capabilities including a cremation viewing suite. Both locations include a chapel and accommodate private and identification viewings.
