On today's episode, I'm taking you inside one of the first African-American-owned funeral homes in the South.
This establishment not only claims the title of one of the county's most timeworn funeral parlors but also holds the distinction of being the trailblazer in offering burial service to African Americans.
During an era when segregation loomed large across the South, this Funeral Home emerged as a beacon of hope for African Americans. In the 1920s and 1930s, the owners of this funeral home, both college-educated, ventured into the mortuary business. Their journey was more than a career choice; it was a rare opportunity for African American men to rise above the limited professional options imposed by segregation. They not only mastered the art of mortuary services but also advocated for education and dignity within their community.
In a society where segregation dictated one's profession, this funeral home stands as a symbol of achievement. It honors the courage of those who, armed with education and determination, carved out spaces of respect and success within a segregated society. This historic funeral home not only serves as the final resting place for many but also as a testament to the strides taken by African American entrepreneurs in shaping their destiny amidst adversity. Unfortunately, changes in the town's community and economic shifts lead to the closing of the funeral home. Now everything remains frozen time. So, let's step inside and see what we can dig up from a bygone era.
