About us

Theodore Roosevelt Dallas IV is the owner and operator of TR Dallas Funeral and Cremation Services, headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. Unlike most funeral directors that get into the “family” business, Theodore did not follow in the footsteps of any family members, but instead had a calling to serve people and families when they need help the most. Theodore is a 2001 graduate of Clearwater Senior High School.

 After graduating from Gupton Jones College of Funeral Services in Decatur, Georgia, in 2003, Theodore began his training by interning and then working for Creal Funeral Home of St. Petersburg, Florida, sixteen years ago.

 In 2010, Theodore Dallas opened Carnegie & Dallas Funeral Services, now TR Dallas Funeral & Cremation Services. The company has carved a nice market niche by predominantly servicing the African American community and cultural diversity in Pinellas County, Florida.

 Grieving at the time of loss can be difficult. Mr. Dallas maintains a can-do attitude to cater to his clients’ needs and wishes. For example, marching bands, saxophone players, etc. have been used in services.

 When it comes to occupations, such as funeral director, there is nothing that takes the place of experience. Theodore’s 16 years working and running funerals provide an insight into handling any challenges that may arise.

 Having owner-operated experts, like Theodore Dallas, providing funeral services is an asset and benefit to Pinellas County, especially the African American community.

It's companies like TR Dallas Funeral and Cremation Services and people like Theodore Dallas that are dedicated to ensuring the folks of Pinellas County are professionally serviced in their funeral needs. Theodore is a member of Saint John Primitive Baptist Church of Clearwater, Florida, and a member of Cush Lodge #429 of Clearwater, Florida.
