The two-story red brick building on Elvis Presley Boulevard houses a modern funeral home with multiple gathering spaces. The main chapel accommodates up to 250 guests—substantially larger than many neighborhood funeral homes—making it suitable for services drawing significant community attendance. A coffee lounge provides informal gathering space, and arrangement rooms allow for private family consultations.
All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by CANA (Cremation Association of North America), with exclusive custody guaranteeing only one person cremated at a time and thorough chamber cleaning between cremations.
M.J. Edwards Whitehaven Funeral Chapel operates from a two-story red brick building at 5494 Elvis Presley Boulevard, serving Memphis families since 1980. Founded by M.J. Edwards Sr. with one hearse, one limousine, and one sedan, the funeral home handled just 12 services in its first month. Today it operates multiple locations with a fleet of more than a dozen hearses and limousines, yet maintains its founding commitment to accessible pricing.
The funeral home joined the Dignity Memorial network following the death of M.J. Edwards Sr. in 2019, after more than 70 years of service. His son, Monroe J. Edwards Jr., continues the family legacy. The Whitehaven location specifically serves communities including DeSoto County, Downtown, Hickory Hill, Midtown, Southaven, and Whitehaven itself.
M.J. Edwards Sr. established a foundation supporting Hanley Elementary School (where the library bears his name), Melrose Alumni Association, Beulah Baptist Church, and the M.J. Edwards Health Center in Coldwater, Mississippi—built on the site of one of his former funeral homes.
