Compassionate Care that Makes a Difference

Personalized Care for Every Family We Serve

At Matthews Family Mortuary, we’re honored to walk alongside families and are committed to creating a tribute that reflects the life and legacy of your loved one. Along with the services we provide, each family receives an online memorial that can be easily shared with friends and relatives. Supporting you is at the heart of what we do, and we offer a variety of resources to help you not only now, but in the days and months ahead.

Below is a brief overview of what we offer. If you’d like personal guidance or have questions, please call us at 252-316-8270—we’re here to help every step of the way.

Online Memorial

We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.

Tribute Video

We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include, and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.

Ordering Flowers

We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.

Sharing Service Details

We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.

We'll Treat You Like Family

We continue caring for you long after the service is over. At Matthews Family Mortuary, we see every family we serve as part of our extended community, and we treat that responsibility with sincerity and compassion. Building genuine relationships is a meaningful part of our work, and many of those connections naturally grow well beyond the day of the funeral. Supporting people is what drives us, and we’re honored to walk with families through every stage of their journey.
