Our Story

Founded in 1928 by N.W. Garrett and his wife, Mary Moody Garrett, Garrett Funeral Home is one of the oldest funeral homes in Waynesville, serving Haywood, Jackson, Madison and Buncomb counties. Our funeral home offers a setting where guests feel at home as they relax in rocking chairs on our covered porch. To add to our appeal, we maintain landscaping with colorful flowers and trees. We also offer on-site parking.

In our lobby stands an antique grandfather clock from the original funeral home. Elegantly decorated in warm colors, our 2 arrangement rooms and 4 private visitation rooms offer solace to families making final arrangements for their loved ones. Our selection room features a variety of caskets, urns and an array of personalized items.
