Hudson Funeral Home & Cremation Services

You often hear people say that funerals are for the living. We also offer Green Burial services for those looking for eco-friendly alternatives.

And they are important, because the funeral process helps you and your family say farewell, and take the first steps toward healing from grief. We can help you plan a service that celebrates the life that has been lived, and communicates all the qualities that made your loved one special to you. Whether you choose traditional burial or cremation, there are many options to tell a unique life story... within your budget. Of course, we help with all the details including providing death certificates, and filing for Veterans, insurance, and pension benefits, as well. And we honor the customs of all faiths and ethnic groups.

Today we pause to reflect and remember the tragedy that struck our country 24 years ago. A lot of us remember where we were when we heard the news that our country was under attack. We are forever grateful for our first responders and the many volunteers, who are, and will always be, Heroes.

Forever in our hearts, we will Never Forget.

In 1986, Hudson Funeral Home relocated from 1800 Angier Avenue to its new and current location, 211 S. Miami Blvd. On the ground level, the new location has two large state rooms, multiple arrangement offices, a selection room, and a chapel. Nearly 40 years later, with major renovations, we are proud to still carry S. Vance Hudson and Ollie Hudson, Sr.’s vision.

When a family arrives at the funeral home to make arrangements, they will meet with a funeral director in one of our arrangement offices. The arrangement office isn’t just a room with a table and chairs, it’s where we get to know who your loved one was and how special they were to you. It’s also where we discuss how we can best honor and celebrate their life, bringing you closure and peace of mind.

Did you know that Hudson was the first funeral home in Durham to open a funeral chapel? The year was 1946, and prior to this adaptation, funerals were typically held in a family’s home. Today, services are held in churches, synagogues, and a funeral home’s chapel.

Hudson Funeral Chapel can be used to hold a traditional, open or closed casket funeral or memorial service, and seats approximately 165 guests, with an overflow room adjacent to the chapel.

A little bit of Hudson history: In 1929, the Hudsons opened an additional funeral home in East Durham. The building was near Crabtree’s Pharmacy, at the corner of Driver & Angier Avenues — this was a branch of the Apex location. A year later they moved to 1800 Angier Avenue, which became their permanent location. It was in this year, the Hudsons brought the first motorized hearse to the community.

Here is a photo of our location at 1800 Angier Avenue. (circa 1930’s)

Our Story

In the past 100+ years, our community has grown. While times may have changed, our commitment to families has not.

Now in our third generation of family ownership, we are proud to have served families with dignity and compassion for more than 100 years. As in 1919, we continue to provide a family-to-famil level of personal service. One way we do this is by offering choices in burial and cremation services, and choices in cost to fit every budget.

As we celebrate over 100 years as a family business, we remain dedicated to your service and honored by your trust.
