R. E. Tyler Funeral Home, Inc. originated under the auspices of the State of Mississippi on February 02, 1960.  From its inception, R. E. Tyler Funeral Home, Inc. has concentrated on meeting the goal that every funeral establishment has:  Providing effective, caring service to our families and communities.

During its forty seven year history, R. E. Tyler Funeral Home, Inc. has been heavily involved in servicing families.  The evolution of the company as a prominent firm is the natural result of the directions of R. E. Tyler Funeral Home, Inc. founder, Mr. William (Willie) R. Tyler, Jr. (1960-1979.)

Mr. William (Will) R. Tyler, Sr., as a funeral director at a prior establishment, and having gained extensive skills, experiences, and an  appreciation of the needs and desires of the funeral service clientele, he, along with his wife, Mrs. Willie Mae Tyler, determined that the initial efforts of their newly formed company should be in the area of funeral services.

Since 1979, the current president and chief executive officer, Robert E. Tyler, has followed in the steps of his father, and predecessor, Willie Tyler, thus establishing another generation of funeral service and a family tradition.  Under his leadership, R. E. Tyler Funeral Home, Inc. has grown to become a vigorous and viable business.

R. E. Tyler Funeral Home, Inc. structure has grown from the understanding and recognition that effective management, operations, and client satisfaction all require qualified individuals who possess special knowledge and skill that are available and accessible on a day-to-day basis, as well as the philosophy that:  “If we take care of the families we serve, those same families will take care of us.”
