About

Carolina Memorial Funeral Home and Carolina Memorial Gardens have served the residents of North Charleston, South Carolina, since 1954. For more than 60 years, our commitment has remained unchanged. Situated on 80 acres just off Interstate 26, a few miles west of Charleston, the funeral home and cemetery work together to provide a full range of memorial, cremation and burial services.

At Carolina Memorial, we believe that every funeral should celebrate the life that was lived. The experienced teams at Carolina Memorial Funeral Home and Carolina Memorial Gardens are dedicated to exceeding expectations and ensuring each funeral service, cremation or burial is personal and memorable.

Personalized funerals and memorials

Chapel at Carolina Funeral HomeCarolina Memorial Funeral Home serves families from diverse cultural backgrounds and faith systems. We believe that unique lives deserve unique services, and we strive to design one-of-a-kind memorials that capture the essence of a loved one.

The funeral home is 17,000 square feet and constructed in keeping with Old Charleston architecture, including a non-denominational chapel that accommodates as many as 200 friends and family members.

Carolina Memorial Funeral Home has several spaces for catered receptions—ranging from simple coffee and tea service to light appetizers with wine to a breakfast buffet to a sit-down dinner. Traditional or contemporary, a catered reception allows family and friends to spend time together sharing memories and comfort.

Southern traditions, modern conveniences

They can also help you choose just the right flowers—from casket sprays to cemetery bouquets—from our on-site florist, Creative Florals of Charleston.

Cremation services

"Wife and I can't thank Dignity Memorial and the staff on their kindness, professionalism, and respect shown to us during the list of a loved one. Given unique circumstances out of their control which didn't allow us to have the service we wanted, Dignity staff went above and beyond in the care and respect at all levels. We had to have a short planned service, and under normal circumstances, would be tough to do. Dignity pulled it off and helped make recommendations that were above and better than we expected from the service to the cemetery where we said our final good byes. We will be forever thankful to Dignity for how they handled things, provided recommendations, explained things, and it was personalized. We are now looking at pre-planning and family will be looking forward to working with Dignity Memorial for planning. Dignity overall made a difficult experience and turn it into something that our loved one would have wanted. Thanks Dignity for aiding in all steps of this and making a Celebration of Life a pleasant experience with no pressure, and when all over, it took so much burden off us. Alan and Eva Deyoe"
