Teresa "Teri" Morris (SC FD License #3501)

Advance Planning Funeral Director

Coming into the industry in 1997 as an Administrative Assistant, she earned her North Carolina Funeral Directors License in September 2003 and her South Carolinas Funeral Directors License in May 2010 after moving to Charleston, SC.


Her tenure as a Funeral Director has taken her from the Blue Ridge mountains in Asheville where she made her home for more than 35 years, to the coast of South Carolina, to the Piedmont area of NC and is finally, currently serving at The J. F. Floyd Mortuary in Spartanburg, SC.


After the death of her son, Aaron, Teri trained to be a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and she also facilitates GriefShare in churches. Teri believes being a Funeral Director and a Grief Recovery Specialist are the two ministries that God has blessed her with. “It is such a privilege to journey alongside those who grieve. So many families, friends and even strangers ministered to me and my family at the time of Aaron’s death that I promised if I were ever presented with an opportunity to serve others in the same way, I would consider it an honor and a blessing to do so.” It is also my son’s legacy.


As the mother of two additional adult children, Lindsey (married to Xavier) and their three children, Dominique, Jasmine, and Olivier who live in Charlotte, and Seth (married to Kelly) and their three children, Abram, Reynolds, and Landry who all live in Asheville. My life is full of family events, soccer games, family pizza nights and trips to celebrate life at the beach.

Living in the Upstate of South Carolina is the perfect place, right in the middle of the mountains and the beach, which I so love to travel to.
In 2014, I chose to work at The J. F. Floyd Mortuary to serve our families. It is a great honor to create the last item for the family of their loved one, whether it is the obituary, bookmark, candle or assisting with a jewelry piece order. It always brings joy to an incredibly sad time.
