The facility represents a rare ground-up construction in the Chesapeake funeral market, designed specifically for modern funeral service rather than retrofitting an existing building. The building features abundant natural light through large windows, including a notable Tree of Life stained glass window referenced by client testimonials. The space includes reception facilities for gatherings after services, and the entire property was constructed with accessibility features including UserWay accessibility menu integration for low-vision visitors.
Briggs Funeral Home emphasizes personalized life celebration services ranging from traditional to contemporary, with particular attention to detail in presentation elements like hair, makeup, and memorial videos.
Briggs Funeral Home and Crematory opened in 2023 as one of Chesapeake's first ground-up, purpose-built funeral homes and crematories in nearly three decades. Located at 1748 South Battlefield Boulevard near the Edinburgh section, the facility sits conveniently accessible from the 168 Bypass. The business is owned and operated by Tim and Christi Briggs, lifelong Chesapeake residents who have served families in Virginia and North Carolina for nearly 25 years prior to opening their own establishment. Despite the modern construction, the Briggs family emphasizes relationship-based care that corporate funeral homes struggle to replicate. In its first two years of operation, the funeral home earned consecutive Best of Chesapeake awards from Virginian-Pilot readers in 2023 and 2024.
