James Funeral Home

James Funeral Home Helping You Every Step Of The Way You never step foot into a funeral home. Or you can utilize our facility to the fullest extent.

James Funeral Home offers you traditional funeral services in a way that allows you the family to save money and receive the highest quality funeral service possible. Upon your call, we come to the facility or home where the death occurred and the deceased is taken to our funeral home, where necessary preparations are handled, as requested by the family. A licensed funeral director meets with you in the comfort of your home or at our facility, depending on the families needs and location, to show you the available options and have you sign the necessary authorizations. Our staff takes care of all paperwork, preparations for the service, overseeing the service, obituary placement, and a variety of other tasks. We will bring the deceased and all flowers to the church or facility where you would like to have the visitation and service (if you do not have a church, we have a beautiful chapel on site that you may utilize). That decision is left up to the family. We offer cremation services, graveside, traditional burial and transportation services to other parts of the country or world. If you are interested in pre-planning, we offer a range of options, from pre-paying for the whole service to simply making selections and keeping them on file until needed with no money down. James Funeral Home has a first class staff that will ensure that your needs will be met. Feel free to call for a general price list. (704-584-9004)

We would be happy to sit down with you and go over any questions that you may have.
