We know these times are difficult for us all. It's more difficult when a loss has been suffered. We are doing everything in our power to accommodate the families that we are asked to serve. Following guidelines issued by the Center for Disease control, face masks are no longer required for those individuals who have been fully vaccinated.
However, we ask and encourage those who are not fully vaccinated to wear a face covering when attending visitations or services. Limits on attendance have been lifted and things are beginning to get back to normal. For those with concerns of the safety and health of family members, when making arrangements for a loved one, an outdoor service may still be the best option.

Carter Funeral Home was founded in 1958, but our roots go back even further to 1946 when Don and Ruby Sedberry opened the doors of their home on Fayetteville Road as the Sedberry Funeral Home. The Sedberry's served families of Richmond County with the utmost care and compassion. When they decided to sell the family business, a young Ellerbe native agreed to purchase the business.
We understand that making the many decisions which come at a time of loss can be difficult. We offer our support by providing you with two options as you consider making immediate arrangements. Please call us at (910) 895-4422 to make arrangements in person with a caring professional. With online Arrangements, you can take your time to select the arrangements which are best for your preferences and budget.
Staff members of Carter Funeral Home are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to our staff of licensed funeral directors. We honor the memory of two dedicated longtime employees.
Nestled amid 100 year old oak trees the Colonial Chapel was once the stately Hamer residence. In 1958 Eldridge and Mary Carter purchased the home for use as their newly purchased funeral home and their residence. The chapel addition was completed in 1965 and a large parlor was added in 1985. In 1999 the entire facility underwent an extensive remodeling project.
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.

They told me straight out..they only take cash up front or a insurance policy. Someone who tells you that first thing when you talk to them, in my opinion is in the buisneas for the money. I'd much rather have someone who actually shows sympathy and respects the fact you just lost a love one. And if that's their policy, ok fine. But please don't let it be the first thing you tell someone. At least say..I'm sorry for your loss. Now I can say when I go there for a viewing the staff are very nice. So I assume if you have cash or insurance policy..they seem to take care of the family nicely.

This is the most unethical bussiness I've ever had any dealings with. First of all they have no respect for the family of the deceased. Only the payee do they even bother with. I have to wonder how they are still in business? These sick people had the privilege of caring for my sisters last rights here on earth, I have to say she would never approve of the way you people treated her children, grandchildren and siblings. If they talked with her family they would have known exactly her wishes. Sick bunch o people there.

The carpets are stained and have what looks like blood droppings all over them. Not just the main walkway but each room we went in. During the private family visit the man in the room was on his cellphone. My mother in law's hand had a BLACK bruise on it that they could have put makeup over or put her good hand over or even put by her side but they did nothing. My father in law was so grieved he needed to set down and my sister in law had to tell the man we needed a chair and he pointed to one on the wall so we had to ask for it to be brought over. Her glasses were missing and we had to ask him

Gary is the most kind person I could've hoped to meet during the death of my babies.
He didn't handle it in a professional way but a personal one, even though we'd never met before the death of my daughter in 2014. It was clear that he grieved for my loss too and made it his mission to make the process as easy as possible financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
I cannot recommend this funeral home enough for the compassion and friendship that is offered to everyone who steps in their door.
