About The Gig Harbor Community
Gig Harbor sits on Gig Harbor Bay in southern Puget Sound, directly across the Tacoma Narrows from Tacoma. Incorporated in 1946, the city is closely identified with its maritime setting and historic waterfront. The harbor itself, recreational marinas, commercial fishing heritage, and walkable waterfront help give the community a distinct identity, while nearby parks and trails provide places for families to gather and reflect.
The city is connected to Tacoma by the Tacoma Narrows Bridges, making services in central Tacoma accessible to families on the Gig Harbor Peninsula. Local points of interest such as the Harbor History Museum, Eddon Boatyard, and Cushman Trail reflect the area's history and strong connection to the water. Scott Funeral Home and Cremation Services is located east of the Narrows at 1215 Martin Luther King Jr Way in Tacoma.
Frequently Asked Questions — Funeral Home Near Gig Harbor, WA
Can a funeral be personalized around a loved one's interests rather than follow a set format?
Yes. Families can incorporate photographs, meaningful objects, favorite music, stories, scripture, video tributes, and other details that reflect the person's life. Our team can help organize these elements into a cohesive service.
What if some relatives cannot travel across the Narrows for the service?
Scott Funeral Home offers live-streaming options that can help relatives and friends participate when distance, health, or travel limitations prevent them from attending in person.
Can we hold the funeral at our church instead of the funeral home?
Yes. A funeral service may be held in our chapel, at a church, or at another venue selected by the family. We can help coordinate the service details with the chosen location.
How can a veteran's military service be recognized during the funeral?
We assist eligible veterans' families with available benefits and military honors. We can also help incorporate personal military history, photographs, awards, or other meaningful details into the tribute.
Should we call before driving from Gig Harbor to Tacoma?
Yes, especially when a death has just occurred or you need to begin arrangements. Calling (253) 572-9555 first allows our staff to guide you on the immediate next steps and prepare for your visit.
