The recently renovated facility offers three distinct event spaces with specialized atmospheres. Palma Ceia Hall serves as the largest venue with environmental projection capabilities. Ybor 1929 provides a 1920s speakeasy aesthetic. The Bayshore Room accommodates intimate gatherings with flexible configurations. The property includes a coffee lounge and is pet-friendly.
The facility emphasizes personalized memorialization, working one-on-one with families to incorporate specific detailsâmusical genres, color schemes, art collections, or culinary preferencesâinto customized celebrations.
Blount & Curry Life Event Center traces its roots to 1913, when Blount Henderson Funeral Home first opened in a small converted residence on Tyler and Marion Streets. Founder F.T. Blount created Tampa's first 24-hour staffed funeral home by connecting two buildings with an enclosed passagewayâa novel concept at the time. The MacDill Avenue location today represents the evolution of that original vision, now operating as part of a five-chapel network serving Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.
The facility distinguishes itself through an extensive renovation that produced three highly specialized event spaces. Unlike conventional funeral homes, Blount & Curry has embraced themed environments: Ybor 1929 replicates a Prohibition-era speakeasy with ornate gold and green wallpaper, exposed brick, built-in banquettes, and a light-up bar; Palma Ceia Hall offers an upscale hotel atmosphere with environmental projection capabilities for immersive visual tributes; and The Bayshore Room provides intimate, flexible seating for smaller gatherings. The Tampa Bay Times described Ybor 1929 as "swanky" in 2021, noting the space's versatility for events beyond traditional memorials.
