Honoring the Calling of Funeral Service

Today, we recognize National Funeral Director Day, a time to acknowledge the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of funeral directors who faithfully serve families during life’s most difficult moments.

Funeral service is not simply a profession — it is a responsibility that requires patience, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to helping families navigate grief with dignity and respect.

At Hines Funeral Home, this work has been carried forward for nearly 80 years, guided by a legacy of service that began in 1946 and continues today through the leadership of owners Carl M. Days and J. Khalfani Hines. Together, they remain committed to ensuring that every family that walks through the doors of Hines Funeral Home is treated with compassion, fairness, and the level of care that reflects our community's values.

Carl M. Days and J. Khalfani Hines, owners of Hines Funeral Home, work alongside a dedicated staff to provide professional guidance and meaningful services that honor the lives and legacies of those entrusted to their care.

Today, we extend sincere appreciation to funeral directors everywhere who serve quietly, faithfully, and compassionately in their communities.

Your work matters. Your service makes a difference.

Some legacies aren’t measured in buildings or years.
They’re measured in lives changed.

The Franklin Hines Scholarship was created from a simple belief: if you help a young person pursue an education, you strengthen an entire family’s future.

Kammaren Mitchell once questioned whether college was even possible. Today, he’s thriving in his studies and leadership roles.

Kaleb Penniston sat in an auditorium not expecting his name to be called. Now he’s pursuing a career in radiology and maintaining academic excellence.

Their stories are reminders that opportunity, at the right moment, can shift the direction of a life.

This scholarship was never intended to spotlight a name. It was created to quietly open doors for students in Hartsville, Darlington, Lamar, and McBee — especially those who may not otherwise receive that chance.

Education changes generations.
Belief changes confidence.
Support changes outcomes.

We are grateful to see that vision continuing to make a difference.

Our History

Hines Funeral Home was founded in 1946 when brothers Gilbert and William Hines had a simple idea of providing unparalleled personal funeral service to the families of Hartsville, South Carolina. The original name of the business was “Hines Brothers Mortuary” and the brothers operated as partners from 1946 – 1965. That year the partnership was dissolved and Gilbert Hines became the sole proprietor and the name was changed to Hines Funeral Home. After Gilbert’s death in 1972, Rheubell Hines, widow of Gilbert and their son, Franklin Hines took over the operation of the business.

In 1975, the entire funeral home was remodeled inside and out including the addition of a completely new state of the art preparation room. In 1977, the business expanded by opening a new facility in Lamar, South Carolina. In 1986, the Gilbert Hines Memorial Chapel was built at the Hartsville facility in honor of one of the original founders. A similar chapel was built in 1991 at the Lamar facility in memory of Barbra J. Hines, the wife of Franklin Hines and it was called the Barbra J. Hines Memorial Chapel.

In 1995, the Hines family purchased Darlington Memory Gardens, an 18 acre perpetual care cemetery. The cemetery includes a mausoleum, a veteran’s section, a pet cemetery and a private estate section. The cemetery provides cemetery property, headstones and markers, and other memorial merchandise to all citizens of Darlington, Lee, and Florence counties regardless of race, creed, color or ethnic background.

In February 1996, Hines Funeral Home Inc. was one of the first funeral homes in the state of South Carolina to offer pre-need burial products. This allows the funeral home to serve an additional segment of the community that wants to prepare for their burial in ways that will economical and less cumbersome than at the time of death. The current staff includes three licensed funeral directors, embalmers and pre-need specialists.
