History

Front exterior building at McEwen Funeral Service-Mint Hill ChapelFor more than 110 years, the McEwen Funeral Service family has served the Charlotte area. Our journey began around 1908 when R.J. McEwen began making coffins in Mint Hill, North Carolina, to help those who lost loved ones to a flu epidemic. In 1915, R.J.'s son, Carl J. McEwen, began working with him, and they later stocked caskets in their Mint Hill hardware store. In 1921, they added additional services and purchased a hearse for funeral services. As their business grew, R.J. and Carl opened McEwen Funeral Home of Mint Hill in 1926.

Additional services

In addition, McEwen Funeral Service provided ambulance service for several decades. At the time, few places in the United States had airplane ambulance service, and the McEwens provided the only option in the Southeast. Their bi-plane saved many lives in the 30s and was eventually donated to the war effort at the request of the federal government.

Growth and expansion

As a result of our strong reputation in the community, McEwen Funeral Service grew rapidly. In 1935, we opened a location in Monroe. We added another location on East Morehead Street in Charlotte in 1947. As the business continued to grow, we expanded with locations in Derita in 1972 and Pineville in 1993.

Today, we continue to innovate and offer specialized funeral and memorial services for all our families. It's our hope to provide the same quality care on which we were founded while meeting the changing needs of the Charlotte area.

Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"2 or 3 days after the service I got a phone call from Dale McCollum saying he would be my point of contact from now on instead of Adam Gochnauer. I found this very strange and didn't like it. I had developed a relationship with Adam over the process and would feel more comfortable continueing that. If this is normal I wish Adam would have warned

me. If this is unusual i wish Dale would have told me why."

"Ten years ago our family suffered the loss of three cherished family members in the span of less than four months. Of the three businesses involved, McEwen offered unparalleled, caring and professional responsive support throughout. This is why we came to them again to handle the services of our sweet mother, who ten ago years lost her baby brother

, mother, and the love of her life, our father. During those trying times, we could not have asked for better emotional support than offered by McEwen Funeral Service. It was the blessing we needed, we were definitely treated like family."
