Our licensed staff of funeral directors have over 185 years of funeral service experience, and are able to represent and relate to people of all ages, from the Swing Generation to Baby Boomers to Generation X'ers. For you, this means that there is probably not a lot we haven't seen or been asked to do. We are familiar with most local churches and their ministers and can handle the service for any faith or denomination represented here in Spartanburg County.
Our Preparation and Embalming Staff have over a 100 years of combined experience which means that they can handle the most difficult conditions for body preparation, from autopsy to body trauma to long periods of hospitalization. They are capable of caring for all body types, shapes and sizes.....and any cause of death. Our families are always very pleased and often surprised at their loved one's final appearance.
Today's funeral director is more than a caretaker of the dead; he or she also is a memorial event planner. A funeral or memorial service often involves the same level of planning as a wedding or bar mitzvah. However, the planning for a funeral usually must be accomplished in a few days rather than over several months, all while the family is coping with the sometimes overwhelming emotion and physical exhaustion common to the death of a loved one. Our funeral directors and staff are caring, extensively-trained professionals who bring a diversity of skills to the logistics of your service so that you are free to focus on your family and friends.
Our funeral directors and embalmers are licensed as required by South Carolina State law and complete continuing education courses annually. Many Directors have their preneed insurance licenses and are well versed and experienced in handling all types of at-need or advance need situations.
