Pope HD Funeral Homes

It all started as a vision on a field on the corner of Smith Church Road and Southgate Drive in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. That vision became a reality in April of 2001, when the doors of H. D. Pope Funeral Home opened for business. With the great support we received in that area, it was soon easy to see that we would need a larger facility to accommodate our clients.
