Our legacy
As one of the oldest and most recognizable landmarks in the area, Storyland Funeral Home is a stately ode to Atlanta history. Established in 1956 by Ignance family, our funeral home and cemetery has evolved greatly over the years to accommodate the evolving needs of our community. Yet our commitment to service remains the same. Even as we modernize our services and facilities, we stay true to our belief that honoring and celebrating life is deeply sacred and personal.
