Kingshill Funeral Home Opens in St. Croix, Bringing Hope and New Beginnings to Grieving Families

Residents of St. Croix now have a new option for final arrangements with the opening of Kingshill Funeral Home. Under the leadership of Nikki Brooks, the funeral home, located at 303 Clifton Hill in Kingshill, held an open house recently to introduce its services to the public.

Ms. Brooks, who returned to St. Croix to start this venture, shared her journey, highlighting the challenges she faced, such as a leaking roof and stained tiles. “Coming home was hard because I’m starting over at 52,” she said. Despite these hurdles, she credited determination and faith for her perseverance, stating, “I played that song, ‘The Goodness of God,’ because God didn’t put me in my space to do nothing.”

Kingshill Funeral Home offers a range of funeral packages starting at $2,300, designed to meet the diverse needs of the community. The funeral home aims to provide reliable and affordable services, accommodating individual preferences and financial considerations.

The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with appointments available on Sundays and 24-hour phone availability for urgent needs.

Ms. Brooks emphasized the importance of personalization in their services. “I believe in celebrating the life of the loved one. That’s why when you walk around here, it’s a blank canvas. What do you desire for your loved one? We created it this way so that every human lived a life,” she explained. The funeral home prides itself on providing a seamless experience for families during the challenging process of arranging a funeral.

In addition to standard services, Kingshill Funeral Home offers bilingual services and materials. “Everything we have in English, we have in Spanish, even to the contract, so the community can read along [with] what everyone is saying,” Ms. Brooks said.

Ms. Brooks also highlighted the ecumenical nature of their offerings, catering to various denominations and spiritual needs. “Some people can have many denominations…some people are more spiritual,” she noted, ensuring that the funeral home can help mourners “create what they need for their loved one to celebrate them.”

Pre-planning funerals is another aspect Ms. Brooks emphasized, comparing it to planning birthdays or trips. She pointed out that pre-planning allows individuals to organize funerals to their preferences, alleviating financial strain and stress for surviving family members.

Ms. Brooks reiterated her belief that Kingshill Funeral Home will offer those struggling through one of life’s most difficult periods ease, comfort, and valuable assistance in making final arrangements for their departed loved ones.
