Matthews Funeral Home opened in the spring of 2000. We started our business after it became apparent that Edmond, Oklahoma needed to have a locally owned and operated funeral home.  A funeral home with interests rooted in our community. We are the only locally owned and operated funeral home in Edmond and you will find and a deeper, more personal commitment to you and your family in a locally owned funeral home.

The only goal at Matthews Funeral Home is to serve each family with the utmost care. That starts from the very first phone call you make to us. We personally handle everything. When selecting a funeral home, you should at all times feel comfortable and also have a deep feeling that the funeral home cares about your family. You will find this in Matthews Funeral Home and Cremation Service.
