Services
Metropolitan Funeral Service operates from five distinct facilities across southeastern Virginia. The Berkley location at 120 West Berkley Avenue in Norfolk features a red-brick building with white columns and central arched window. The Granby chapel at 7246 Granby Street presents a traditional red-brick church design with tall white steeple. Portsmouth (5605 Portsmouth Boulevard) and Suffolk (268 Holladay Street) locations offer brick buildings with white cupolas. A fifth Virginia Beach facility at 3300 Virginia Beach Boulevard is listed as coming soon. Each location provides on-site parking and maintains the architectural character of established community institutions.
Metropolitan Funeral Service structures their offerings around three pillars: the Metropolitan Commitment for service delivery, the Metropolitan Advantage for coordination convenience, and the Metropolitan Difference for comprehensive care integration.
Metropolitan Funeral Service has operated as a family-owned business since 1966, with Kenneth Alexander now leading as the second generation to uphold the family tradition. The funeral home maintains five locations throughout the Hampton Roads region: Berkley and Granby in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and a forthcoming Virginia Beach facility at 3300 Virginia Beach Boulevard. Their operational philosophy centers on what they term the "Metropolitan Commitment" — delivering personal service, peace of mind, and pleasant memories to families during their time of need.
The business distinguishes itself through vertical integration uncommon in the industry. Rather than coordinating with external vendors, Metropolitan Funeral Service handles ceremonies, casket selection, vaults, flowers, obituaries, and fellowship hall arrangements entirely on-site. This extends to their "Metropolitan Difference" offering, which consolidates funeral services, cremation, insurance, counseling, and pre-planning at a single location.
