As funerals have evolved through the years, our caring staff has continued to guide each family through the process of paying tribute to their lost loved ones.

Prior to Parker-White, the Ware Shoals Funeral Home was located in the Riegel Textile Mill's company store, the "Big Friendly", and was operated by Mr. Ben Freeman and Mr. Clarence Wickliffe. Later, it was moved to its present location at 17 N. Greenwood Ave. Ext.

In 1982, Billy White purchased Pruitt Funeral Home, another family-owned funeral home in nearby Honea Path. Pruitt Funeral Home was then moved to its present location at 603 N. Main St.

As our family continues to operate these funeral homes into the third generation, our high standard of care and service to the families we serve continues to be our most important goal.

She and Billy White came to Ware Shoals in 1951 and served the community together until his death in 1995.
