Drive-thru viewing comes to Memphis funeral home | KGW.com - kgw.com

Orange Mound neighborhood is one of the first to offer the service in the mid-South. A few funeral homes outside of the Memphis also offer the service. On the West Coast, Robert L. Adams Mortuary in Compton, Calif., also advertises drive-thru viewings.In the Midwest, Paradise Funeral Chapel in Saginaw, Mich., began offering drive-thru visitations in 2014."When we first started it, everybody was talking about it and it was a big deal," said Ivan Phillips, owner of Paradise Funeral Chapel. "Things have now calmed down, and we use the service two to three times a week."Bernard said since he opened his funeral home in January, six families have selected the drive-thru option. The service is part of the funeral packages and offered at no additional charge.Related: Some funeral homes choose fun 'life celebrations'"We still have traditional visitation services," Bernard said.

" I think one of the last ones to do it would be in the South because we are so traditional and so tightly wrapped to the Bible Belt."The Memphis funeral home director said that drive-thru visitation is simply one of the many innovations that he hopes to bring to R. Bernard Funeral Services and the Memphis market. He has already added live streaming of funerals and in the next few months cremation will be offered."The funeral industry is always changing every year. I keep the old traditional funeral stuff and try to add new stuff to it,” Bernard said. "I am 41 years old. I am not out just to mark...
