Brett Funeral Home and Cremation has been serving St. Petersburg area families for years. We are honored to be a part of the rich history of this community and plan to be a part of it for many years to come. Our Tradition of service began in 1960 when Tom and Gail Brett founded Brett Funeral Home. Located in the center of St. Petersburg, the family business has been a fixture on Central Avenue for three generations.
After the death of Mr. Brett in 1977, his two sons, Timothy and Terrence took over operations of the business and continue in that capacity today. The founders grandson and namesake, Thomas J. Brett, has been with the family business for several years and represents our third generation. In an age of uncertainty and change, families can depend upon the Brett family and their tradition of service.

We cannot even begin to thank you enough for all of your support during this heartbreaking time in our lives. You were so considerate of our feelings and emotions at that time. You also went above and beyond what you were required to do. Myself and my daughters express their utmost gratitude. The compassion, kindness, care, respect and professional ability that your family provided was so comforting. Every detail was anticipated and handled flawlessly and everything was all very beautiful. We would never have been able to do it without your help. Again, thank you so much for your kindness. Wendy

The funeral home staff were compassionate and professional. They approached everything from the perspective of remembering the deceased and consoling the living. There were no sales pitches. Our meetings focused solely on what was right for me and my family.
I cannot stress enough how helpful and informative Terry was throughout the entire process. Thank you.
