The locations are situated in Tumwater and Lacey, providing coverage across the core communities of the Olympia metro area including Tumwater, Lacey, Olympia, and surrounding Thurston County communities.

• Funeral Alternatives of Washington - Tumwater, the original flagship location of the brand, has served the South Sound area since 2002. The location is situated within the historic Masonic Memorial Park — established in 1852 by the Olympia Masonic Lodge #1 and among the largest and oldest cemetery properties in Thurston County — in the South Sound Manor building, a facility specifically constructed to avoid the appearance of a traditional funeral home. The Tumwater location includes a chapel and reception and event space, and accommodates identification and private viewings. Families consistently describe the arrangement process as clear and well-managed, noting proactive communication and straightforward explanations of available options.
• Funeral Alternatives of Washington - Lacey opened in 2010 as the second location in the brand. The facility includes a chapel, an on-site crematory, a cremation viewing suite, and accommodates identification and private viewings. Families consistently name individual staff members across reviews, reflecting a pattern of personal attention at the team level.

Families choosing between the two locations typically weigh factors including proximity to home or a preferred cemetery, whether on-site cremation is a priority, and the availability of reception and event space for post-service gatherings. The Tumwater location offers reception and catered event space within its facility. The Lacey location offers on-site cremation capabilities including a cremation viewing suite. Both locations include a chapel and accommodate private and identification viewings.
