History & Staff
We have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life. Each family comes to us because they know we are leaders in our profession, dedicated to excellence in service, and have the highest integrity.
Our History
The Beachwood Society is a family owned and operated cremation society.
We offer to the families we serve, a simple and dignified alternative
to traditional funeral service. Our purpose is to ease the burden of
the families at one of the most difficult times of their lives. The
Beachwood Society is the only cremation society in Collier and Lee
Counties that owns and operates its own crematory. Having your own
facility guarantees that your loved one will be in our custody with
utmost dignity. We are also affiliated with a local full-service
funeral home for those families who request additional services. Here at the Beachwood Society, we have been serving the community for over 30 years.
