For families who prefer burial, we coordinate traditional funeral services and direct burial at a partner cemetery, and can host visitation and a service in our chapel before the committal.

About Duval County, Florida
Duval County sits in Northeast Florida's First Coast region and is officially known as the City of Jacksonville and Duval County, the result of a 1968 consolidation of city and county government. That consolidation makes Jacksonville, the county seat, the largest city by total area, land and water combined, in the contiguous United States, stretching across roughly 875 square miles along the banks of the St. Johns River. Four communities inside the county, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and Baldwin, chose to keep their own local governments and remain their own municipalities today.
Duval County is home to nearly one million residents spread across urban neighborhoods like Riverside, Avondale, San Marco, and Murray Hill, larger districts such as Arlington and Southside, and the Northside area where Weston's Mortuary serves families. The St. Johns River winds through the heart of the county, shaping neighborhoods on both its north and south banks and giving Jacksonville its identity as a river city. Wherever a family lives in Duval County, from the historic streets near downtown to the beach communities along the coast, Weston's Mortuary is close enough to help.
