Terry Funeral and Cremation Service

Today was Kaye Cook’s last official day at the funeral home as she begins her well-earned retirement.

It’s hard for me to put into words what Kaye has meant to me personally. Over the years, she has been much more than a coworker. I’ve always looked at her like a grandmother. Through good days, difficult days, and every challenge in between, she has always been in my corner, supporting me, encouraging me, and helping guide me along the way.

When I purchased the funeral home, Kaye believed in me and stood behind me every step of the journey. Her knowledge, dedication, and love for the families we serve have helped shape this funeral home into what it is today.

While she’s retiring from her day-to-day duties at 84 years old, I’m thankful she has agreed to stop in once a month to keep an eye on me and make sure the files are still in order. Some things never change.

Kaye, thank you for your friendship, your wisdom, and your unwavering support. I am blessed to have had you by my side, and Terry Funeral & Cremation Service is better because of you. Enjoy your retirement…you’ve certainly earned it.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice gave us the freedoms we enjoy each and every day, and we should never take that for granted.

As families gather this weekend, may we all take a moment to reflect on those who never made it home and the loved ones who continue to carry their memory forward.

From all of us at Terry Funeral & Cremation Service, we thank our fallen heroes and their families for the sacrifice they made for this nation.

May we never forget.

I just want to give a shout out to our entire team.

All of them are pretty much retired, they sure don’t do it for the money. From the book keeper, to the secretary, the funeral assistants, and those who care for pet families. These folks are hands down some of the best people I could possibly have the privilege of working with.

The care they show to families is second to none. They deserve the credit and keep me in check as well as the funeral home as a whole.

A group of people working together to make sure every family is cared for and every detail is taken care of.

I wouldn’t trade these folks for anything💯

Today we celebrate the mothers who shaped our lives with love, strength, sacrifice, and guidance.

For many, Mother’s Day is filled with hugs, laughter, and cherished time together. For others, it can be a difficult reminder of someone deeply missed.

No matter where this day finds you, we hope you take a moment to reflect on the love of a mother, grandmother, stepmother, or mother figure who made a difference in your life.

From all of us at Terry Funeral & Cremation Service, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful Mother’s Day.

When I purchased the funeral home, I knew there would be challenges ahead. What I hoped for most was for our community to see our heart, our effort, and our commitment to serving families the right way.

Today, being recognized as a “Best of North Carolina 2026” winner is something I’m incredibly proud of.

Terry Funeral & Cremation Service was 1 of only 8 funeral homes across the entire state of North Carolina selected for this recognition.

For a small-town, locally owned funeral home in Western Rockingham County to be recognized alongside long-established funeral homes across North Carolina means more than I can put into words.

This recognition belongs to our staff, our team, and the community that has supported us from day one. It’s because of the families who trust us, the people who recommend us, and the support this community continues to show that we are able to do what we do every day.

We have poured ourselves into this place. Every improvement, every late night, every service, every family.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in us, supported us, and trusted us during some of the hardest moments in life.

We are proud to serve the families of Western Rockingham County each and every day.

“In a small town like ours, I know change isn’t always easy. When we became Terry Funeral & Cremation Service, your support and trust meant everything. Over the past year, I hope you’ve seen that we’ve invested right back into you…into our building, our community, and by expanding to offer pet cremation services. I truly appreciate everyone who’s embraced the new name and vision. And to those who still call us Ray Funeral Home…that’s okay, too. At the end of the day, it’s all about serving you.”

We got a lot done around the funeral home. Big thank you to Mitch Barrett and his crew for coming out and pulling up those bushes and getting things cleaned up right. And to Platinum Power Wash for making our front windows shine again… it makes a difference.

I spent the rest of the day mowing, w**d eating, and trimming up the bushes. Now, I know I could pay somebody to do it, but that’s not why I do it. It means more to me to take care of this place myself. There’s just something about standing back, looking at a freshly cut yard, and knowing you put your hands on it. The fellas know exactly what I mean… same feeling as standing by the grill after a long day.

This place isn’t just a business to me. It’s part of this community, and I want it to look that way every single day.

And that’s the difference… we’re local.
