Let’s celebrate life

Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills cares for families from a diverse range of backgrounds and faith systems, and we believe that final services should reflect the uniqueness of each life. We strive to create one-of-a-kind memorial services that capture the essence of the life being celebrated. From a traditional, religious-based service to a highly personalized contemporary gathering, we are happy to deliver.

Whether you want a basic cremation with ashes scattered in a personally meaningful place, a graveside service at Floral Hills Cemetery or elsewhere, or a modern celebration of life with live music, favorite foods and a send-off that expresses the passions of your loved one, we can make it happen. From garden party to golf-themed event, bagpipes to banjos, cupcakes to crab cakes, we make sure that your wishes or the wishes of your loved one are fulfilled.

Cremation services in Seattle

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none. And now we offer both traditional flame cremation and water cremation.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef^® is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many cremation providers—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. We use only crematories owned and operated by Dignity Memorial^®; providers or trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

Now offering human composting

A new choice for nature lovers, conservationists and those who want to protect the planet for future generations, human composting is an alternative to burial and cremation. Inside a vessel created especially for this purpose, organic elements, such as wood chips, mulch and wildflowers, gently transform a body into nutrient-rich soil. Your family may choose to use this soil to plant trees or flowers, or you can place it in a location meaningful to you. The remaining soil is sent to conservation land on the Olympic Peninsula to aid projects such as reforestation, improving soil health and restoring challenged ecosystems. 

Quality you can count on

We provide professional, courteous service as you and your family navigate difficult times. Our experienced team members are dedicated to exceeding expectations and ensuring each funeral, cremation and memorial service is both personal and memorable. We are here for you when you need us. Please call Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills anytime day or night.

History

Floral Hills Cemetery was established in 1958 and the funeral home soon followed. In 1995, Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills Funeral Home & Cemetery joined the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest network of funeral, cremation and burial service providers in North America.

Floral Hills Cemetery

The picturesque Floral Hills Cemetery, which includes 10 undeveloped acres, serves as a peaceful final resting place to the people of Lynnwood and other nearby parts of the Seattle area. Located at the northwest junction of Filbert and North roads, the cemetery has mature trees and well-maintained pathways; it provides a seclusion and privacy that appeals to many families.

Burial options

The well-kept cemetery offers ground-burial options with both flush-to-ground and upright monuments, memorial and cremation benches, a cremation garden, mausoleums, private family estates and other permanent memorialization choices.

Gardens and features

The gardens at Floral Hills Cemetery have names like Azalea, Camellia and Rhododendron. Many have bubbling fountains. Garden of Reflection, newly opened in 2019, allows for both cremation and traditional burial placements, custom family estates, upright monuments and flat markers.

Evergreen Garden includes a large monument honoring members of the United States armed forces. Originally established just for veterans and their family members, the garden is now open to the public, though it remains a preferred interment place for those who have served in the U.S. military.

The cemetery team is happy to show you around. Please call us if you would like a guided tour.

Honoring veterans and serving the community

The funeral directors and team members at Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills Funeral Home and Cemetery are engaged members of the Lynnwood community, hosting funeral planning seminars and holiday events that are open to the public. Each autumn, our Fall Harvest Festival in October draws 600 guests.

We are proud to assist and honor veterans in any way possible. We ensure families are aware of veteran burial benefits and participate in programs such as the Homeless Veterans Burial Program, a cooperative effort with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, local medical examiners, coroners, veterans advocates and veterans organizations, that ensures that homeless and indigent veterans who have no family to claim them are identified and provided with proper military burials.
