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 Funerals Services now TR Dallas Funeral & Cremation Services. The company has carved a nice market niche by predominately 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.
