Caring for Melbourne Families Since 1971
Ammen Family Cremation & Funeral Care - Melbourne is a funeral home with on-site crematory in Melbourne, Florida. It is part of Ammen Family Funeral Care, a family of funeral home locations serving the Palm Bay metropolitan area. The location provides burial services, cremation services — including on-site cremation through the Space Coast Crematory, in operation since 1994 — funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, veterans services including military honors, and ash scattering assistance.
The Melbourne location was founded in 1971 by George W. Ammen, Jr. under the name South Brevard Funeral Home. George's son Michael joined the business in 1973, establishing its family-led character that continued for 48 years. The Space Coast Crematory was added to the Melbourne location in 1994, giving the business an on-site cremation capability that has been part of its operations for more than four decades. The business formally changed its name to Ammen Family Cremation & Funeral Care in 2011.
The facility includes a chapel, an on-site crematory, identification viewings, and private viewings.
Ammen Family Cremation & Funeral Care - Melbourne does not operate an on-site cemetery and does not offer pet cremation, licensed grief therapy, or legal or estate planning services.
Families with military service members frequently cite the team's experience coordinating veteran care, including arrangements with Arlington National Cemetery, and multiple staff members are recognized by name in reviews for their thoroughness throughout the process.
