J.C. Harwell & Son Funeral Home was founded in 1893 by Mr. June Harwell in Pennington, Ga. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Harwell moved his family to Mansfield, Ga. Mr. Harwell diligently served the residents of Newton County by providing them with the most compassionate, conscientious and professional care.
He developed many lasting friendships and became a well-respected leader. This legacy was passed on to his son Charles, and together they moved the funeral home from Mansfield to Covington in 1927. J.C. Harwell & Son changed locations several times before Bill and his son Charles finally moved the funeral home to its present location near the downtown square in 1943.

The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
