Dillard Memorial Funeral Home & Hillcrest Memorial Park

Dillard Memorial Funeral Home & Hillcrest Memorial Park Dillard Memorial Funeral Home and Hillcrest Memorial Park serve families in and around Pickens, Oconee, Anderson and Greenville counties

Dillard Memorial Funeral Home & Hillcrest Memorial Park are here to help your family during the loss of a loved one. Our compassionate, professional staff members understand the decisions that families face and will help you to create a memorable service for your loved one. In 1991, we became the first funeral home and cemetery location in Pickens County, which allows us to provide you with additional convenience in funeral and cemetery planning. We have proudly served the families of Pickens, South Carolina, for generations. Dillard Funeral Home was established as Clayton-Dillard Funeral Home in 1933 by F. Van Clayton and Austin Dillard. In 1962, the Dillard family purchased the funeral home from the Claytons and renamed it Dillard Funeral Home. It was at that time that Austin’s son, Jim Dillard, joined the family business. In the early 1970s, the funeral home moved from its original Pendleton Street location to North Catherine Street, and in 1987 Jim’s daughter, Ginger Dillard Selby, became part of the funeral home staff. Dillard relocated again in 1991—this time to 2402 Gentry Memorial Highway, adjacent to Hillcrest Memorial Park, where families can conveniently plan all their final needs. The funeral home is housed in a beautiful 14,000-square-foot facility, and a separate building houses an on-site crematory and crematory chapel. Other amenities available at Dillard include four visitation rooms, two arrangement rooms and a large chapel with seating for 300 guests. The beautiful Hillcrest Memorial Park was chartered in 1951 and retains sufficient undeveloped property to ensure development for generations to come. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hillcrest has been known as Pickens County’s finest burial estates since its inception. We host many community and holiday events throughout the year such as the annual Christmas Luminary and Memorial Tree program. A wide range of burial options is available within our beautifully landscaped grounds, including traditional ground burial, chapel and garden mausoleum entombment and lawn crypts, as well as private burial estates and family mausoleums. For those who choose cremation, we offer ground inurnment, mausoleum niches, an ossuary and cremation benches. We pay tribute to our veterans in a special Garden of Honor, where those who have served our country can be interred. With Dillard Memorial Funeral Home located on the grounds of Hillcrest Memorial Park, we are one of the finest and most convenient choices for South Carolina families. We are proud members of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, offering quality, compassionate care and service you can trust.
