History

Front exterior building at Striffler-Hamby Mortuary David Abraham Striffler began his career at the firm of C.L. Torbett Company in 1908 in Columbus. In 1913, he joined the firm Herring and Knight, which started as an undertaking business in 1886. In 1923, David opened his own business, D.A. Striffler Company, in downtown Columbus. In 1930, David moved into the 1st building used as a funeral home in Columbus and renamed the funeral home Striffler Mortuary.

Thelon A. Hamby Jr. began working for David while attending high school in 1932. Thelon continued working at the funeral home after graduation, and in 1954, he became a partner. The funeral home was renamed Striffler-Hamby Mortuary.

When David died in 1964, Thelon became president and added a 2nd location in east Columbus in 1972. In 1980, Thelon's son, Thelon A. Hamby III, joined the company. A year later, the company expanded once more when it purchased Buice Chapel in Phenix City, Alabama.

In 1995, the 3 Striffler-Hamby Mortuaries became part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.
