Our story

As one of the oldest and most recognizable landmarks in the area, Carter Funeral Home is a stately ode to West Point history. Established in 1950 by J. F. Carter, Sr., our funeral home has evolved greatly over the years to accommodate the evolving needs of our community. Yet our commitment to service remains the same. Even as we modernize our services and facilities, we stay true to our belief that honoring and celebrating life is deeply sacred and personal.
