History

Front exterior at Snow's Memorial ChapelLocated in downtown Macon, Snow’s Memorial Chapel began in 1892 as Burgard Funeral Furnishings. In 1942, William A. Snow, Jr. bought the funeral home for his brother-in-law, Everett Sammons, and changed the name to Memorial Chapel.

In 1959, Sammons’ nephew, William A. Snow III, began working at the funeral home, and in 1973, Everett Sammons passed away, William A. Snow III and his wife managed the business. Later in 1979, he purchased the funeral home from his father and changed the name to Snow’s Memorial Chapel. Both Mr. and Mrs. William A. Snow III are still active in the business today.

Reginald Smith, who began working with us in 1965, has a long-term heritage of serving in our funeral home. William A. Snow IV, who started in 1983, manages Snow’s Memorial Chapel on Cherry Street and is also the General Manager of the Macon Georgia Group.

"My father was involved with the funeral industry for most of his life and we supplied caskets to many funeral homes in Georgia. I have known the people of Snow's Memorial Chapel for many years and they have always operated with integrity. My mother was the fourth member of my family to be buried by them."

"Snow's made a very difficult situation much easier by guiding our family through the process in a step by step manner. David was very understanding and flexible with some unique requests we had. We were in constant communication and it gave me peace of mind that my mother's arrangements were being taken care of by the best in town."
