Modern, versatile funeral home

Our Hickory funeral home was designed and constructed in 2007 to provide a fresh, flexible space for hosting customized funeral and memorial services. Our state-of-the-art facility offers spacious gathering rooms, a large chapel, full kitchen, cozy fireplace, original artwork, woodland surroundings and ample parking.

Honoring veterans, military families

At Drum Funeral Home, we are honored to support our veterans and military service men and women who have given so much to protect our country. We work with local veterans organizations that help people understand their veteran family members and guide them through their life stories for a more peaceful passing. 

Drum Funeral Home proudly participates in We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In fact, we’re a Level 4 Community Partner that offers both knowledge and service to honor our nation’s veterans.

History

The Drum family of funeral homes was founded in 1926 by David Slyvanius Drum, known as “Van Drum” around the community. With more than 90 years of continuous service, the Conover, North Carolina, location is the oldest funeral home in Catawba County.

In 1986, Stuart Terry, a Catawba County native, returned from Raleigh and purchased the business from the Drum family. Drum Funeral Homes joined the Dignity Memorial® family in 2012. Stuart's son, Greg Terry, continues to guide the business as general manager.
