We've learned a lot about caring for families over the years. We realize that we aren't just caring for a loved one, but the entire family.
People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life.

Kimberly Meyers-Jamison
Location Manager
Read Bio
Kimberly R. Meyers-Jamison began her career in the funeral industry in 2009 after losing seven close family members and friends. After witnessing some beautiful funerals and some terrible ones, she realized that she could make a difference and ensure that everyone receive the funeral they deserve. Kim truly believes in the power of personalized funerals and believes “your death should tell your story just as much as your life.”
After graduating from mortuary school, Kim moved to northern Virginia where she was able to take care of our nation's veterans almost daily by going to Arlington or Quantico National Cemeteries.
Unhappy with the traffic of the DC area, Kim and her husband Bruce packed up and moved to Lakeland, Florida, where she began working at Sunset Memory Gardens in Thonotosassa and then Skyway. Despite the long commute, Kim fell in love with Skyway and its potential as a Funeral Home and Cemetery. She looks forward to helping the families in Palmetto and the surrounding area. On Kim's days off you can find her taking care of her dogs Lucy and Hutch, eating all of Florida's amazing food, sharing memes, volunteering at the SPCA of Lakeland and enjoying trips to the beach.
