Funeral Directors The Owner of Lockett-williams Mortuary Inc. is Theodore Williams Business classifications
SIC (US 1987) : It was in 1948, that Mr. George W. Lockett’s vision of opening and operating a first-class mortuary in Gulfport, Mississippi became a reality. Mr. Lockett helped families through difficult times and thus a pattern of concern and care was put into place, which has continued throughout the years. The owners and staff of Lockett- Williams Mortuary, Inc. continues to take sincere pride in serving their families with the sensitivity and competence of dedicated professionals. Because of this profound service, Lockett-Williams Mortuary, Inc. is one of Mississippi’s oldest and most respected funeral service providers. Mr. George W. Lockett served as owner and President of Lockett’s Mortuary until his death in December of 1983. Being very concerned about protecting the credibility and image that Lockett’s Mortuary had built across the country over its thirty-six year existence, Mr. Lockett’s heir, was very careful in selecting someone to whom she would sell the business. It was in 1984 that Mr. Theodore R. Williams, Jr. and his wife, Rosemary, who are and were both outstanding and well known citizens of Gulfport, were personally approached by Mrs. Lillian Lockett, the wife and only heir of Mr. George W. Lockett, in regards to purchasing the business. Due to the Williams’ credibility in the Gulf Coast community, as teachers in excess of twenty-years, as well as the fact that Mrs. Williams’ family (Hayes Family Funeral Home) was deeply entrenched in the funeral service industry in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the Williams were prime candidates to carry on the vision, mission and legacy started by George W. Lockett some thirty years prior. For over 20 years, Theodore and Rose Williams have dedicated themselves to providing the highest quality of service.
