About Our Founder
Ty Williams Jr. is a second-generation funeral director who brings fresh vision and first-class care to funeral service, with deep respect for tradition.
His journey started at 16, when he began working at Sarah L. Carter Funeral Home in Jacksonville, Florida. He learned under one of the first African American women in Florida to build a funeral home from the ground up. There he learned the weight of the work: not just handling the logistics, but holding space for families in their most vulnerable moments.
He was raised in a family where service, legacy, and excellence were a way of life. His father, Ty Sr., laid the foundation that Ty Jr. continues to build on today.
Ty studied at Gupton-Jones College of Funeral Service, the University of North Florida, and Florida State College of Jacksonville.
I didn't get into this profession just to pick up people's loved ones and bury them. I got into it to be effective prior to death.
Ty Williams Jr.
A new perspective on a time-honored profession.
Ty's mission is to redefine what funeral service can be:
- Less transactional and more transformational.
- Families who feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
- Guidance with care, clarity, and cultural sensitivity.
Ty doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all services. Whether your family is in immediate need or planning ahead, he meets you with respect, patience, and professionalism. From the first call through the service and the grief support after, every detail is handled with care, because Ty knows this isn't just a service. It's someone's story.
Beyond the funeral home, Ty speaks at community workshops to help families learn what it means to plan well, so they can face the future with confidence instead of fear.
"Serving Families with First-Class Care" isn't a slogan. It's a standard.
"He made us feel held when everything else felt heavy."
