Did you know that funeral services and memorial services aren’t quite the same thing?
There’s one key difference. While both events should uniquely celebrate and honor a lost loved one’s life, a memorial service does not have the physical body present. So, if the service takes place after cremation or burial, then it’s a memorial service.
If you have more questions about memorial services, give us a call at (828) 680-0287!

Our experience began in 1972, when the, then named Holcombe Funeral Home was purchased by Robert Capps and became the Capps Funeral Home. We relocated from our previous location on North Main Street to 7626 NC Hwy 213 in the spring of 2002 and in remembrance of Mr. Capps' son Robbie Capps, the name was changed from Capps Funeral Home to Blue Ridge Funeral Service and Robbie Capps Memorial Chapel. In 2014, Mr. Capps retired and his son and daughter in law, Tim and Katherine Capps, purchased the funeral home to continue the family business.
For over 40 years our local funeral directors have always tried to provide the best service at the most affordable price, for every family we serve.
