Our state-of-the-art funeral home, built in 1971 with no expense spared, has recently undergone a remodel in 2018.

A funeral home plays a crucial role in the aftermath of a death. From preparing death certificates to picking up the deceased and providing a respectful holding space until a death certificate is obtained, a funeral home facilitates both cremations and burials. Additionally, funeral homes can host viewings with or without an embalmed body.

In recent times, cremations have become increasingly popular, leading to a rise in businesses specializing in direct cremations. These direct cremators often lack a licensed funeral director on-site and are commonly located in strip malls or retail plazas. Targeting customers seeking the most affordable cremation options, these establishments differ from funeral homes like Sorensen Funeral Home. With us, your loved one will always be cared for by a licensed funeral director, never leaving our facility. Additionally, you have the opportunity to view your loved one if desired. Direct cremations typically occur off-site, without family access.

Situated in the heart of St. Petersburg, Florida, our funeral home benefits from a picturesque location. We understand the importance of healing surroundings during this difficult time for your family.
