COVID-19 Funeral Service Options

In an effort to protect the well-being and safety of our community along with the families who have chosen our firm; and in compliance with Governor Cooper’s recent "Stay at Home" order; we are presently pursuing other unique options to serve our families. Losing a loved one is very hard, but perhaps even harder during this time of social distancing. We understand how important it is to say goodbye. While adhering to gathering restrictions you may be wondering what can we offer? Our funeral home is prepared to offer, drive-through visitations, online recording of funeral services, and drive-in funeral service options. We will do everything we can to help your family create a memorable funeral service. We apologize for the inconvenience and disruption that this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns about our COVID-19 funeral service options please contact us at (828) 884-2139.
