Our story

Early 1991

In January of 1991, a large tract of land overlooking Highway 58 in Castlewood was purchased from Mr. Trinkle Phillips, a local businessman, and an 8400 square foot building was designed. C&R builders of Castlewood served as the contractor for the building, and construction began in the spring of 1991.

Late 1991

On October 1, 1991, Castlewood Funeral Home opened, and the firm received its first call on that day. The original associates of the firm were Jess Johnson, Eddie Gullett, Bert McCoy, C.B. Parrott, and Twilia Gullett. In early 1994, because of the increasing number of families served by Castlewood Funeral Home, Randy Bryant joined the staff.
