We are proud to be independently owned and family operated since our begining in 1896. We have been providing continuous service to families of all faiths in the surrounding communities for over 118 years. W. Hampton "Hampy" Dukes established a funeral business, Dukes Undertaking, on St. John Street, Orangeburg, in 1896.
In 1927, a cousin, Clifton Harley, joined Hampy Dukes, and then in 1930, his brother, I.S. Harley, joined the business which became Dukes-Harley Funeral Home. They moved to Russell Street in 1936 and continued to operate the family business. In 1980, A.J. Hutto, Jr., a nephew of the Harleys, purchased the business and has carried on the family business ever since.

A funeral represents a purposeful opportunity to reflect on the meaning of a life that has been lived and to determine the impact of that meaning for the family and friends. There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you.
Our staff associates of Dukes-Harley Funeral Home and Crematory are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
