Our Story

Today's Summersett Funeral Home, Inc. began in 1904 as a furniture company; however, like many furniture companies during that period, they also sold caskets, embalmed and conducted funerals.

Mr. William Benjamin Summersett started the business which was originally located at 110 W. Innes Street. In 1907 the funeral business was separated from the furniture business by William's son, Thomas Walter Summersett, Sr. and moved to 128 N. Main Street. The funeral business operated under the name T.W. Summersett Undertaking Company.

In 1922 the business moved to 125 W. Council Street and in 1930 the business incorporated and became Summersett Funeral Home, Inc. In addition to operating as a funeral home, Summersett's also served Rowan County as an ambulance service.

In 1955 the funeral home moved to its current location at 1315 W. Innes Street complete with a new building and chapel. Enhancements were made to these facilities in 1965, 1976 and 1978. In 1990 the Summersett Memorial Chapel was built. 1998 ushered in another upgrade of the garage which also serves as a warehouse. The crematory as it stands today - was installed in 1999.
