Not Your Average Funeral Home

We wanted to know what makes Washington, DC’s number one funeral home so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Milton Tellington.

The first question we had for Milton was what makes Tri-State Funeral Services unique compared to their competition in Washington, DC. He pointed to the fact that they care, the quality of their service and their affordable prices.

Milton went on to say:

“I’m upfront with people. I tell them what my price is, and… I have a reasonable cost for funerals or cremations. …I use the top-of-the-line caskets and materials, and they appreciate that.
We take our time and walk them through everything, and they seem to like that and be very peaceful at the end…”

We also asked Milton about Tri-State Funeral Services’ mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Milton told us that he gives back by being there for his community and by adopting and cleaning up the block they’re located on. They also reach out to neighborhood churches and offer a place to hold chapel services for those that don’t have a church home.

Building Success by Offering a Sympathetic Ear

When we asked Milton what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Tri-State Funeral Services, he told us that he has a sympathetic ear and provides quality service at the price people are looking for. He added:

“We take our time with families. Whether they use our services or not, we try to give them the information they need, because they are experiencing a death and they need to know what direction to go in. Education is one of the key things, and when people don’t have it, they can stumble, fall and get misled, leaving them vulnerable for people to take advantage of them…”

Every business owner wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Tri-State Funeral Services has. Here’s Milton’s advice for them:

“You have to treat people right and give good service. …Treat people right and take care of the things in a timely fashion, and they will appreciate that.”


Congratulations to the team at Tri-State Funeral Services for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Milton, for taking the time to speak with us!
