White Funeral & Cremation Service

White Funeral & Cremation Service, located at 603 Ocean Highway East in Bolivia, North Carolina, stands as a trusted pillar of Brunswick County with over seven decades of dedicated service. Originally founded as Coble Ward-Smith Funeral Service, the funeral home transitioned to its current name in 2015 after merging with Greg and Delores White's respected funeral operations in Southport and Shallotte. Today, it operates as part of the Dignity Memorial network, offering families the resources of a national provider while maintaining the personalized care of a local establishment.

The facility is modern and thoughtfully designed. The main chapel seats 120 guests, with additional overflow spaces for larger services. A dedicated banquet and special events room allows families to hold receptions with catering without the added expense of an outside venue. The building is fully wheelchair accessible, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, and ample free on-site parking ensures convenience for all visitors. Situated adjacent to Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center and near Secu Lower Cape Fear Hospice and other medical facilities, the location is ideal for families across the region.

White Funeral & Cremation Service provides comprehensive funeral and cremation options. Traditional burials, cremation services, and personalized memorials are all available. The staff assists with obituaries, keepsakes, floral arrangements, and catering, tailoring each service to reflect the unique life of the deceased. For veterans, the funeral home coordinates military honors and works with the VA to ensure proper recognition. Pre-planning is a key offering, with prepayment plans that can save up to 10% and include lifetime flexibility and relocation protection across Dignity Memorial providers.

The history of the funeral home reflects community initiative. The chapel was built in response to Brunswick County residents who requested a local funeral home from Mr. and Mrs. Lad Coble, who owned Coble Funeral Home in Wilmington. After Mr. Coble sold his other properties, the Bolivia chapel filled a growing need in central Brunswick County. In 2015, Greg White brought his family's expertise, merging three locations into a cohesive team. Greg remains active in daily operations, ensuring continuity of compassionate care.

As part of Dignity Memorial, the funeral home offers a 100% service guarantee, 24/7 availability with a real person answering the phone, and access to nationwide resources. The team's vision is to deliver the highest level of service through professionalism, community commitment, and immaculate facilities. White Funeral & Cremation Service also has sister locations in Shallotte and Southport, all striving for excellence in serving their neighbors. Whether for immediate need or future planning, families can trust White Funeral & Cremation Service to provide respectful, dignified care.
