Isaiah Owens Funeral Services … Where beauty softens your grief. If you’re suffering from the loss of a love one, please know that the Owens family and all of our staff wish to offer you our sympathy and our care.

The New York Times has called Isaiah Owens “the most artful undertaker in Harlem.” He is also an ordained Baptist minister, yet Isaiah knew at a very young age that the funeral care would be his “true calling” in life. For over 30 years, Isaiah Owens Funeral Home has provided care and comfort to families in Harlem and throughout the tri-state area. A second funeral home was established in Mr. Owens’ hometown of Branchville, South Carolina, which equally reflects his mission and our belief that death and beauty go hand in hand to create lasting memories.

Isaiah Owens’ passion and dedication has drawn the attention of portrait artist Elizabeth Heyert, whose works are part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Together, they are working to create a collection of portraits of the deceased that captures Isaiah’s panache and sense of style.

So much of life is spent planning for education, a career, a family.
