👋 Introducing our very close knit family here at
Coats Funeral Home/Coats Crematory, LLC.
This is our incredible and talented
Funeral Director/ Owner, April DiMartino.💕
April grew up with close ties to Coats
Funeral Home. The business has been in her family since 1982 when her father purchased the funeral home and the crematory. The family business had one of the first crematories in the State of North Carolina. At that time, cremation was not a popular option. Times have certainly changed and the establishment is continually adjusting to the changes to best serve each and every family.
The crematory has always been next door to Coats Funeral Home however is operating under a new name, Coats Crematory, LLC. Unlike many businesses in the funeral industry, Coats Funeral Home has not been bought out by a large corporation. The business will remain family-owned and operated.
April's goal is to continue to help each family not only deal with the loss of a loved one in a streamlined way, but save money as well! She plans to continue to implement what her father instilled in her which is finding creative ways to help others in addition to reducing unnecessary costs.
April graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2004 with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. She received her Funeral Director's License after completing her Funeral Director's courses at the top of her class, NC State Board Exams, and traineeship.
April lived in the Northern VA/DC area for over 20 years. She worked as a Government Investigator for over five years in the DC area and has moved back to her hometown to take over the family business.
April has a teenage daughter, Isabella Sophia.
