From humble beginnings to the privilege of serving families today.

This old photo of Piedmont Funeral Home reminds us that it all started as just a house, with a calling to care for people in some of life’s hardest moments. What began simply has grown through generations of faithful service, shaped by the lives and legacies of those who came before us.

We don’t take that lightly.

Every family we serve today is part of that story. And while much has changed over the years, what hasn’t is our commitment to doing things the right way, offering fair, honest pricing and personal, compassionate service to every family who walks through our doors.

Honored to carry on the legacy.

Christmas is a season filled with beauty, tradition, and celebration, but it can also be a tender and heavy time for many. Some are missing loved ones, some are walking through grief, and some are simply tired.
Wherever this season finds you, may you know this: Christmas is not built on perfect circumstances, but on a perfect Savior.
We honor and celebrate Jesus, the Light who entered a dark world, the Hope for the brokenhearted, the Peace that doesn’t depend on how we feel today.
Praying that those who rejoice would rejoice deeply, and those who mourn would feel comforted and seen. Emmanuel (God with us) still meets us right where we are.
Merry Christmas 🤍✝️

Welcome to Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory

Family-owned Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory was founded in 1913 by Edgar A. Timberlake, John T. Lowe, Dell A. Watson and F.P. Lopp. These founders first located the funeral home at 111 N. Main Street and operated it in conjunction with Piedmont Furniture Company. After several years, Mr. Timberlake was joined in the funeral business by John F. Beck and John D. Craver. His son, Casper H. Timberlake joined the firm in 1925. In 1928, the funeral home was moved to a new building on E. Second Street. Mr. Craver's son, Charles F. Craver joined the firm in 1935. After Edgar Timberlake's death in 1939, Casper Timberlake and Charles Craver would assume operation of the funeral home for more than fifty years.

The funeral home moved to its current location in 1947. The chapel was added in 1973, and is currently the largest funeral home chapel in our area.

The firm was sold to the Voglers family in Winston Salem in 1982. Service Corporation International (SCI) would eventually acquire the Voglers Funeral Home operation.

In 2001, Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory was returned to local ownership when Larry Morrison, Daniel Briggs and Jack Briggs were able to purchase the firm from SCI, making it a locally owned, family owned funeral home. Since purchasing Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory, the facility has been fully renovated, and they built the only on-site crematory in Davidson County.
