Our Story
Choice Funeral Home was established in 2025. It had been a lifelong dream of Alexander F. Elie since he was a little boy. At the age of six he would often mock funeral processions in his mother's living room often burying watches, jewelry boxes, and stuffed animals.
Alexander Elie is a licensed funeral director and has worked in the funeral business for over twenty years. As a funeral home owner, Alexander Elie believes in community, public service, and serving families in the spirit of excellence.
He started Choice Funeral Home with his partner and soon to be wife, Attorney Ruby A. Lewis.
