Inside Valley Burial & Cremation in Puyallup, WA

About South End, Tacoma, Washington

South End is a long-established residential section of Tacoma, Washington, generally defined as the area east of Interstate 5 out to Pacific Avenue, and it takes in smaller pockets such as Lincoln, Whitman, and Fern Hill. It has long been one of Tacoma's most diverse neighborhoods, home to a mix of families who have put down roots over generations alongside newer residents drawn by its affordable, close-in housing.

Pacific Avenue and South Tacoma Way anchor the neighborhood's everyday life, lined with small businesses, churches, and the schools that serve South End families. The area sits just south of Tacoma's Eastside neighborhood and a short drive north of the Puyallup Valley, giving residents easy access to both city amenities and the more rural character of Pierce County. Our funeral home at 217 Pioneer Wy E in Puyallup is about 20 minutes south, an easy drive down SR 167 and I-5.
