Blue Ridge Cremation Society

Blue Ridge Cremation Society Blue Ridge Cremation Society offers a low-cost
alternative to the traditional funeral service
that most funeral homes offer.

Blue Ridge Cremation Society opened its
doors on March 23, 2014 in hopes of serving
the Foothills community. Because Blue Ridge
Cremation Society is a division of Davenport
Funeral Home, we can assure that you are in
good hands. Blue Ridge Cremation Society
is equipped and ready to assist you and your
loved ones. We are proud to own and operate our own
crematory facility in West Union, SC. You can
be comforted knowing that when choosing
Blue Ridge Cremation Society, your loved
one’s remains will never be transported to a
facility that is used, owned, or operated by
anyone other than our own staff. Many other
funeral homes act as the middle-man and
contract out to third party crematories. Because we manage all of the care under
one roof, our general overhead is lower, and
we are able to pass that savings on to you
