About Edmond Fahey Funeral Home

In the heart of Bay St. Louis, Edmond Fahey Funeral Home stands as a testament to a longstanding legacy of service, care, and community engagement. Over a year ago, in November 2021, the O’Keefe family took the mantle of this esteemed institution, bringing fresh perspectives while preserving the heritage of this establishment.

The O’Keefes have been proactive in enhancing the funeral home experience. They've shifted the showroom and merchandise room to the ground level, making it more accessible for guests. Complementing the rich history of the venue, they’ve upgraded lighting and are in the process of refining other cosmetic elements, including chandeliers and curtains.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of their philosophy. As Jeffrey O'Keefe points out, planning funeral arrangements is a realization many face annually. The funeral home, under the O’Keefe stewardship, has been diligent in reaching out to the community, educating them about this often-overlooked aspect of life. Their ‘Lunch and Learn’ initiative, conducted in partnership with local restaurants, is a prime example. Through this program, community members are invited to familiarize themselves with the funeral arrangement process.

The O’Keefes’ reach goes beyond just the funeral home. They also acquired the Gulf Coast Memorial Cemetery & Mausoleum in Bay St. Louis. Edmond Fahey, the prior owner, had established a sizable mausoleum, which over time, found its niches occupied. In acknowledgment of changing preferences, with cremation on the rise, the O’Keefes are now constructing a new garden-style mausoleum embellished with granite sourced from Spain. This modern construction will feature fewer full-size crypts but will provide more niches for cremations.

An initiative that resonates deeply with many is the annual candlelight ceremony known as the Celebration of Lights. Started last year, this ceremony invites the community to remember their departed loved ones with music, prayers, and the act of lighting luminaries. The Second Annual Celebration of Lights is set for December 9th, with the memorial service starting at 3:30 pm.

The O’Keefes have a storied legacy in the funeral service industry, marked not just by their commitment to community service but also by their resilience in the face of challenges. This legacy recently caught the attention of the cinematic world. Their legal battle with a major funeral corporation, which led to a lawsuit and a subsequent significant verdict, has inspired a movie. Titled "The Burial," the movie is set to premiere on Amazon Prime in October, with notable stars like Jamie Foxx in the cast. While the film offers a dramatized account, it nonetheless provides a glimpse into the tenacity and determination of the O’Keefes.

Above all, what stands out is the O’Keefes' profound sense of responsibility and honor. As Jeffrey O'Keefe shares, they're deeply pleased and honored to have been chosen to continue serving the community through the Edmond Fahey Funeral Home. Their commitment is evident in every upgrade, every initiative, and every effort to be a pillar of support for families in their times of need.

In conclusion, Edmond Fahey Funeral Home, with its rich history dating back to 1895, continues to thrive under the O’Keefes. Their blend of tradition, modernity, and deep-rooted community engagement ensures that the funeral home remains an indispensable part of the Old town Bay St. Louis community.
