Today we celebrate the true gift of Christmasā€”love.

Love that was born into the world to bring hope, healing, and peace. Love that lives on in our families, our memories, and the lives of those we hold dear. On this Christmas Day, may you feel surrounded by that love, whether through joyful gatherings or quiet remembrance.

We honor the past, cherish the present, and hold onto hope for the days ahead. May the spirit of Christmas bring comfort, renewal, and light to your heart today and always.

Merry Christmas from Garrett Funeral Home and Garrett Hillcrest Memorial Park šŸŽ„

On this quiet Christmas Eve, we pause to reflect on the true meaning of the season.

Christmas reminds us that even in the darkest nights, light is born. It is a time of hope, love, and promiseā€”a reminder that compassion and kindness endure, even through loss and longing. As families gather near and far, may the spirit of Christmas bring comfort to hearts that are missing loved ones and peace to all who are remembering.

May this evening be filled with gentle moments, cherished memories, and the warmth of love that never fades.

Our Story

Founded in 1928 by N.W. Garrett and his wife, Mary Moody Garrett, Garrett Funeral Home is one of the oldest funeral homes in Waynesville, serving Haywood, Jackson, Madison and Buncomb counties. Our funeral home offers a setting where guests feel at home as they relax in rocking chairs on our covered porch. To add to our appeal, we maintain landscaping with colorful flowers and trees. We also offer on-site parking.

In our lobby stands an antique grandfather clock from the original funeral home. Elegantly decorated in warm colors, our 2 arrangement rooms and 4 private visitation rooms offer solace to families making final arrangements for their loved ones. Our selection room features a variety of caskets, urns and an array of personalized items.

Chapel Amenities

Our chapel at Garrett Funeral Home, which comfortably seats 250 guests and can be used for visitation services, contains cushioned pews, an organ, a piano and large screens to display video tributes. We also offer a private family room adjacent to the chapel.
