Southern Cremations & Funerals: Marietta

Southern Cremations & Funerals: Marietta operates as the headquarters of a three-location network serving Metro Atlanta. The funeral home is situated at 1861 Dallas Highway in Marietta, a Cobb County city northwest of Atlanta. The other two locations are in Fairburn, southwest of the city, and McDonough, in Henry County to the southeast. This geographic distribution allows the business to serve families across the northern and southern suburbs of the metro area.

The Marietta site functions as Southern Cremations & Funerals at Cheatham Hill Memorial Park, combining both funeral home operations and cemetery grounds at the same address. The funeral home and cemetery office maintain hours Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the office closed on Sundays, though cemetery visitors may enter from dawn until dusk. A funeral director is available by phone around the clock to discuss arrangements and provide pricing. Direct cremation packages begin at $1,695.

Review accounts describe staff members by name — including Michelle, who assists with headstone design, and Ardin and Leo, both involved in service coordination — and note attention to logistical details such as keeping families updated during the preparation and shipping process. One family spent over ninety minutes working with Michelle on memorial selections, during which she paused the appointment when a client became emotional and provided water and granola bars when low blood sugar was mentioned. Another review references services held in the columbarium followed by cremation, indicating the cemetery includes niches for inurnment.
