About Gentry-Morrison Funeral Homes

Serving Lakeland FL and Surrounding Areas

Gentry-Morrison Funeral Homes has served the Lakeland community since 1911, establishing a legacy as the oldest funeral home in Polk County. As a locally owned and operated firm, it has remained closely connected to the families it serves across generations. That longevity reflects not only experience, but a consistent presence in the community—one built through relationships, trust, and a clear understanding of the people and traditions that define the area.

Under the leadership of Lew Hall since 2001, Gentry-Morrison has continued to build on that strong foundation while remaining actively involved in local churches, civic organizations, and community efforts. This involvement is an extension of their role as a funeral provider, reinforcing their commitment to being present in meaningful ways beyond their services. Families know they are working with a team that is not only experienced, but genuinely invested in the community they serve.

Today, Gentry-Morrison operates two full-service funeral homes along with Serenity Gardens, a family-owned cemetery designed to provide convenience and continuity. Having these resources together allows families to make arrangements in a more seamless and accessible way. With more than a century of service, their focus remains on honoring each life with care and individuality, while guiding families through each step with steady attention and support.
