Our home is your home

Mitchell Funeral Home at Raleigh Memorial Park is a welcoming space. Our celebration of life venue is classic and unadorned. Our event space, Glenwood Center, hosts catered receptions and nontraditional services. It accommodates up to 75 for a seated dinner or up to 200 for a standing reception. With catering and reception services, we take care of all the food and drinks, so you don't have to.

Our professional, compassionate funeral home team is here to create an experience that celebrates the details of each individual’s life—and to take care of your family as if they were our own.

Time with family and friends can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. And unlike some funeral homes that offer families only one room or designated area, we want you to use all of our spaces for as long as you need them.

Personalized funerals

How will you honor your loved one’s legacy? At Mitchell Funeral Home at Raleigh Memorial Park, we are experts at creating unique and memorable tributes that celebrate a person’s passions and personality.

If your loved one was a world-class grill master, we can put together a celebratory cookout. Maybe her recipes for banana pudding and chocolate chess pie are worthy of a dessert buffet? We can display a collection of paintings or quilts, dress up in sports jerseys or theatrical costumes, or release 100 red balloons.

From small details like photos and funeral favors to custom decor and a live band—whatever the case may be—we can craft a memorial that warms hearts, lifts spirits and deeply reflects the life of your loved one.

We offer many planning ideas and resources.

Cremation in Raleigh

There are many options for cremation in Raleigh—and they're not all equal. We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing. With facilities for outdoor services, expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

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.

If you're interested in cemetery placement, our sister cemetery, Raleigh Memorial Park, is among the prettiest in the area.

And for those who wish for something more momentous, 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.

Raleigh Memorial Park

Spanning 50 acres, the grounds of Raleigh Memorial Park are shaded by tall pines and towering oaks. Dogwood trees and cheerful crepe myrtles bloom pink and white in spring. Canadian geese return to the cemetery every fall. A walk down one of our winding paths showcases a range of burial options: traditional ground interment with flat or upright markers, mausoleums, family estates and a range of choices for cremation memorialization, including niches and gardens.
