A Family Legacy:
Reverend Floyd A. Williams and his wife, Cynthia Lopes-Holbert, established the Floyd A. Williams Funeral Home, Inc., on February 28, 1974. They stepped out on faith, guided by the belief that "all things are possible through our faith in God and our constant prayer; however, prayer without work is dead." The Williams family includes their four children: Tracey (Troy) Wilson, Deborah Williams, Sean (Nicole) Williams, and Dahria Williams-Fernandes (John). Their legacy continues through their grandchildren, Malika, Troy, Marques, Myles, Floyd Ashton, Deja, DeJohn, Javon, Naimah, and Alyanna, and great-grandchildren, Malik, Myles, and Issadora.
To honor this commitment, we place our entire caring and well-trained staff at your service. Our facilities are maintained to provide comfort for the families we serve. We are dedicated to helping you select arrangements that meet your needs perfectly and welcome your thoughts and wishes.
