Services
Gaffney structures its service approach around flexibility and family choice, with multiple pathways for both cremation and the emerging composting/terramation option. The presence of trained life celebrants provides an alternative for secular or non-traditional services.
Gaffney Funeral Home operates from a single location at 1002 S. Yakima Avenue in Tacoma's South End, serving families throughout Pierce County. The funeral home distinguishes itself through an explicit operational philosophy: staff are trained to work at consistently high standards with consideration, sensitivity, and kindness, backed by facilities that are maintained as clean and comfortable.
The funeral home's most notable policy is its strict Cremation Promise, which explicitly prohibits charging for unrequested services and prevents staff from dissuading families from selecting less expensive options. This commitment extends to a rare satisfaction guarantee—if a family is not completely satisfied with any service or facility, Gaffney will reduce or cancel its fee. The business maintains 24/7/365 availability with a published phone number (253-572-6003) and fax (253-597-7347).

Tim was very professional and compassionate as well as the entire staff. They all were a very calming factor.
