May invites us to pause, breathe, and remember that caring for our mental and emotional well‑being is just as important as caring for our physical health. In our work, we see every day how deeply people carry their stories — their joys, their burdens, their grief, and their resilience.

This month, we stand with our community in recognizing that healing takes time, support matters, and no one should ever feel they have to walk through difficult seasons alone.

To anyone navigating loss, stress, or quiet struggles of the heart:
You are seen. You are valued. You deserve compassion — from others and from yourself.

Let’s use this month to check in on one another, speak kindly to ourselves, and create space for rest, reflection, and hope.

With care, from all of us at Carothers Funeral Homes

My name is Mandy Williams, and I serve as the General Manager of our two cemeteries (Hillcrest Gardens and Gaston Memorial Park) and three funeral homes (Carothers in Gastonia, Dallas and Stanley). I knew as early as the fifth grade that the funeral profession was my calling, and I’ve felt honored to serve families ever since.

Walking alongside families during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives is a responsibility I never take lightly. It means so much to me to create a space where loved ones can share stories, celebrate a life well lived, and even find moments of laughter in the midst of grief.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading psychological thrillers, watching comedy shows, hiking the Appalachian trail, and spending time with my husband- who is also in the profession- our family, and our very spoiled fur baby, Stella.

On this Mother’s Day, we pause to celebrate the women who have shaped our lives with love, strength, and quiet wisdom. Whether they are with us or held close in memory, their influence lives on in the stories we tell, the traditions we carry, and the love we continue to share.

For those who are missing a mother, a grandmother, or a mother‑figure today, we hold you gently in our thoughts. Grief can feel heavier on days like this, and it’s okay to honor your feelings in whatever way brings you comfort.

May today be a reminder that a mother’s love never leaves us — it continues in the lives we lead and the hearts we touch.

From all of us at Carothers Funeral Homes, we wish you peace, comfort, and moments of tenderness this Mother’s Day.

During the month of May, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication. Their commitment protects the freedoms we hold dear, and their legacy lives on in the families and communities they helped shape.
At Carothers Funeral Homes, we are humbled to care for veterans and their loved ones. Each story, each flag, each memory reminds us that service is more than duty - it is love in action.
To all who have worn the uniform, and to the families who have stood beside them: Thank you. Your strength, your sacrifice, and your service will never be forgotten.
May we honor their legacy not just this month, but always.

My name is David Brennan and I have been a fourth generation licensed funeral director for nearly 40 years. Since I was 18, I worked at and eventually ran our family funeral home in Connecticut, until 2022. I am a proud father of twins; I have a son and daughter born on the Fourth of July. Once they made it clear that I would not be turning things over to this fifth generation, I sold the business and headed for friendlier winter temperatures. For the past couple of years, I have called the greater Charlotte area home.

Unfortunately, I am a diehard Miami Dolphins Fan and just can't find the courage to jump ship and cheer for a winner. I am also an avid golfer who enjoys traveling around this beautiful country, looking for the best courses to play. After finding a suitable caretaker for my business, I took some time off and bought a 35-foot Class A, RV. In 30 months, I visited 19 States and 32 Cities. People ask me what that experience was like, and I say it was like the Forest Gump box of chocolates. Never knew what each day would bring, but it certainly was a once in a lifetime adventure.

As I looked to begin a new journey in my professional career, it was important to access those areas of the job that were found to be the most meaningful and rewarding. That deep reflection led to my current passion and position; assisting people with pre-planning and documenting exactly how they would like to be remembered. Over the years, I consistently found that those who took the time to do this positively affected how their survivors grieved. It provided them with a road map helping them to avoid major detours, as they navigate a new life now filled with loss and new uncertainties.

In these later years of my life, finding ways to be impactful and helpful to my adult children has become a daily challenge. I'm glad that I have taken care of this for them.

6 Reasons Prepaid Funerals Are the Best Gift
#6. You get to choose exactly what you want.
Pre-planning your funeral allows you to carefully consider your options and make the choices that ensure that your life is remembered and celebrated the way that you want. Even if you tell your family about your end-of-life wishes, they may not remember or agree. The only way to know for sure that you will get a cremation with a celebration of life by the lake or a New Orleans-style jazz procession is by planning in advance.

Hi, I'm Brittany! An apprentice funeral director, student, and mother who values compassion and service, I take pride in caring for my family at home and supporting the families we serve with empathy, respect, and understanding. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy gardening and spending time outdoors, where I find peace. Thank you for allowing us to serve your family.

Unlike cats, we don’t get nine lives…
Which is a real shame, because most of us could use at least one do‑over for our teenage haircut choices alone.

But in all seriousness, we only get one life — one beautiful, imperfect, meaningful life — and it deserves to be lived fully and remembered well.
At Carothers, we’re honored to help families celebrate every chapter of that one precious life.

My name is Lisa Harmon, and I have been married to my wonderful husband, Jamie, for 29 years. I am a mother of two daughters, a proud MiMi to four wonderful grandchildren, and blessed with an amazing son‑in‑law.

I have been part of this company for 19 years and currently serve as the Office Manager for three funeral homes and one cemetery. My work is rooted in compassion, organization, and a deep commitment to the families we serve.

In April of 2021, I experienced the heartbreaking loss of my own daughter. I have sat in the same seat where so many families sit — overwhelmed, grieving, and searching for someone who will guide them with sincerity, knowledge, and genuine care. That experience strengthened my purpose: to ensure every family who walks through our doors feels supported, understood, and never alone during their most devastating moments.

I am a member of Grace Baptist Church in Mount Holly, and my greatest joy comes from spending time with my family — especially our cookouts where everyone gathers together. Family is my foundation, and it shapes the way I care for others every day.
