Our Services
We understand it's not always possible to pay respects in person, & hope that this will help.
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

New Tacoma has a deep commitment to being a positive contributor to the City's of University Place, Fircrest, Lakewood, Tacoma and surrounding areas. We are especially supportive of our Police and Fire agencies.
Please give us a call; we are available 24 hours a day to assist you when needed. Our promise is to assist any family in need, regardless of financial ability. Pricing and options for all the services we offer are available by phone. Be cautious of low prices and comparisons as often they are misleading or not inclusive. One thing that makes us more unique among larger area cemeteries is that New Tacoma Cemetery is a registered "not for profit" cemetery, meaning our profits are reinvested into our property rather than going to an out of state "corporate office". When you buy an interment right for burial or placement at New Tacoma, you actually become an "owner" of the cemetery.
I promise the staff of New Tacoma will act with compassion, integrity and honesty in helping you each step of the way.
