The legend of Shipp's Funeral Home is centered around one word: Family. It goes back over three generations, to the 1960's. A young apprentice by the name of Curtis Shipp was the family's first Funeral Director, as he worked in the new defunct Shepard's Funeral Home in Sylvester, Georgia.
Curtis was the licensed Funeral Director, his sister answered all calls after hours from home, a niece was the hairstylist, cousins served as funeral attendants, and he groomed one of his sons and a nephew to be licensed Funeral Directors as well.In 1972, the nephew, James Edward Shipp, ventured out to open his own funeral home, which became Shipp's Funeral Home.

A funeral or memorial is a customary way to recognize death and its finality. Funerals are held for the living to show respect for the dead and to help survivors begin the grief process. They also give mourners a chance to share stories, create memories, fulfill religious beliefs & customs, participate in a support system, and gather at a peaceful place during a time of confusion and uncertainty.
Holding a funeral or memorial service for your loved one is a positive first step in the grieving process. Family members and friends get a chance to say their goodbyes, and at the same time, they get to share strong feelings with one another. In the days, weeks and months following the service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement and guidance.

The staff at Shipp's Funeral Home are amazing. They provided my family with the upmost respect and compassion during one of the saddest days of our family's history, the loss of our mother. They explained all services available and walk my father through the entire process step by step. They also worked diligently with us to ensure that we were provided with several options, and they also threw in extra items at no cost to meet our budget. They were very professional and executed her Funeral with precision and treated our mother with great care, dignity and respect! Our heartfelt thanks go out
