❄️ A Message to Our Haywood County Community ❄️

As winter weather and icy conditions move into our area this weekend, all of us at Garrett Funeral Home want to encourage our friends and neighbors to please take extra care.

If you don’t have to travel, stay home. If you do, take it slow and stay safe. Check on loved ones, especially the elderly, and look out for one another.

Our thoughts are with our community—please stay warm and safe this weekend.

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.

Chapel Amenities

Our chapel at Garrett Funeral Home, which comfortably seats 250 guests and can be used for visitation services, contains cushioned pews, an organ, a piano and large screens to display video tributes. We also offer a private family room adjacent to the chapel.
