As we celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday, we were reminded of the mothers who shaped us, prayed for us, sacrificed for us, and loved us unconditionally.

Welcome to Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory

Family-owned Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory was founded in 1913 by Edgar A. Timberlake, John T. Lowe, Dell A. Watson and F.P. Lopp. These founders first located the funeral home at 111 N. Main Street and operated it in conjunction with Piedmont Furniture Company. After several years, Mr. Timberlake was joined in the funeral business by John F. Beck and John D. Craver. His son, Casper H. Timberlake joined the firm in 1925. In 1928, the funeral home was moved to a new building on E. Second Street. Mr. Craver's son, Charles F. Craver joined the firm in 1935. After Edgar Timberlake's death in 1939, Casper Timberlake and Charles Craver would assume operation of the funeral home for more than fifty years.

The funeral home moved to its current location in 1947. The chapel was added in 1973, and is currently the largest funeral home chapel in our area.

The firm was sold to the Voglers family in Winston Salem in 1982. Service Corporation International (SCI) would eventually acquire the Voglers Funeral Home operation.

In 2001, Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory was returned to local ownership when Larry Morrison, Daniel Briggs and Jack Briggs were able to purchase the firm from SCI, making it a locally owned, family owned funeral home. Since purchasing Piedmont Funeral Home & Crematory, the facility has been fully renovated, and they built the only on-site crematory in Davidson County.
