History

Drum Funeral Home-Conover was founded in 1926 by David Slyvanius Drum, known as “Van Drum” around the community. Stuart Terry, a Catawba County native, returned from Raleigh and purchased the funeral home in 1986 from the Drum family.

Today, we are honored to continue to serve our community and look forward to helping more families in our area. Drum Funeral Home-Conover celebrated 90 years of continuous operation in 2016 and is among the oldest funeral homes in Catawba County.
