Gregory B. Levett & Sons Funeral Home.,
Inc. is a family owned and operated funeral service provider established in
1980 by Mr. Gregory B. Levett Sr. and his wife Betty. The Levett legacy of
providing traditional, thoughtful and dignified funeral services spans over
four generations. Mr. Levett began mastering the art of funeral service at a
young age after being introduced to the industry by his father, the late Mr.
George W. Levett Sr. Mr. Levett has continued the family tradition and has
passed on his knowledge and love of caring for others to his children, Gregory
Bernard Jr., T. Lanier, and Deana, who are all active in the day to day
operations of the business. The company now includes four locations in
Metropolitan Atlanta. It employs over 100 staff members and ten licensed
funeral directors who are on call 24 hours a day to serve families of all
nationalities who entrust their loves ones to our care.
In 1980, Gregory and Betty Levett established
their first location in Scottdale, Georgia. This 5,000 square foot facility
still serves as the company’s corporate headquarters. Gregory B. Levett &
Sons Funeral Home & Crematory Inc. rapidly outgrew their Scottdale location
because of their compassion and careful consideration of others during their
time of bereavement. In 2000, Mr. Levett and his family established their
second funeral home in Decatur, Georgia. This 9,000 square foot chapel
continues to serve over 1300 families annually. In 2004, Mr. Levett established
the only African American owned and operated funeral home in the South Gwinnett
area. This state-of-the-art facility spans over 12,000 square feet and features
six large private rooms, large conference rooms, adequate parking and a 350
seat chapel. Mr. Levett is a visionary and always seeking ways to improve and
expand his legacy, so in 2009 he acquired his fourth and largest funeral home
to date in Buford, Georgia which features an onsite crematory, intimate viewing
rooms and a state-of-the-art showroom. Mr. Levett later sold the Buford chapel
to expand in other areas better suited for the families served. In 2014 Mr.
Levett went back to his humble beginnings of Conyers, GA and acquired another
location which is more than just another location for him. This special
facility was a humbling accomplishment not only because he was born and raised
in Conyers, GA but because of the strong ties that he has to the Rockdale
community. This location not only helped solidify his lifelong dream of having
multiple locations that serves all nationalities and religions, but to never
forget where he came from by being able to give back to his childhood
community. The 10,500 square foot location is a state-of-the-art facility and
features 3 large conference areas, 4 large private viewing rooms, a repast
space and an intimate chapel that seats up to 300 guests. Mr. Levett’s latest
acquisition came in 2015 when he opened Cremation Care of Georgia, a full
service cremation facility, which allows him to not only use the crematory for
his own customers but also partner with colleagues in the funeral industry to
properly cremate their deceased in a professional and dignified way.
Mr. Levett credits his
success to providing each family he serves with the best customer service,
dignity and professionalism. His vision is to have Gregory B. Levett & Sons
Funeral Home & Crematory Inc. globally recognized as the premiere funeral
home serving the Metropolitan Atlanta area, with a reputation for excellence and
first class service. Mr. Levett has instilled his values and compassion for
grieving families into his staff and believes it is their mission to serve
every family with reliable and dignified services. It has been an honor to
serve the families of celebrities and dignitaries, as well as families from all
types of nationalities, religions, and languages over our 35 year history. Mr.
Levett and his family continuously express their commitment to others and pour
back into their community by being active members in a variety of organizations
and making generous donations to various charities.
