Our History

Culler-McAlhany Funeral Home traces its beginnings to 1898, when W.C. Culler began selling caskets from his general store in North, South Carolina. Like many early funeral establishments, the business grew from serving practical needs to providing complete funeral services for the community, including the use of a horse-drawn hearse.

In 1947, the business moved to its present location, marking the first time it operated solely as a dedicated funeral home. The following year, S.F. Long became a partner with W. Clarence Culler, son of the founder, and significant additions were made to support expanding services. Mr. Long later became sole owner and continued operating the funeral home until 1988.

In 1989, Tom C. McAlhany, Jr. became owner and manager, and the funeral home was renamed Culler-McAlhany Funeral Home in 1993. Continued improvements followed, including ADA-accessible restrooms and ramp access, expanded visitation areas, and a chapel capable of seating up to 175 guests. Today, the funeral home remains dedicated to serving families with professionalism, dignity, and care.
