Briggs Funeral Home

Briggs Funeral Home is a family-owned and operated funeral home with deep roots in North Carolina, serving communities in the Piedmont and Sandhills regions. The business is part of J. Briggs, Inc., and is owned by Jack and Joan Briggs, with their son Daniel actively involved. Home offices are based in Denton, with chapels in Denton and Candor, and a proud history of service in Troy. The company also operates Rex Furniture Company and Mountain View Memorial Gardens, a perpetual care cemetery in Denton. Briggs Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home offering personal care from the Briggs family alongside a dedicated, long-standing staff. In addition to their funeral homes, the family co-owns and operates several other funeral home companies in the region and has a crematory in Lexington serving all locations.

The Denton Chapel is housed in the historic J. O. Garner residence, built in 1915, and has been a community fixture for decades. The business moved into this location in 1937, and the facility has undergone many changes and additions since. Today, it can accommodate three visitations simultaneously and has a chapel seating 140 people. The Candor Chapel was built in 1988 after many years in downtown Candor. Designed for large visitations, the chapel seats 110 with overflow seating in adjoining parlors. The building is wheelchair accessible via a ramp and was enlarged in 2003, adding an attached portico for family convenience.

Briggs Funeral Home offers a range of services, including veteran services, grief support, and a year-long grief message subscription. The business also provides financial assistance and on-site parking. Both locations are wheelchair accessible with accessible entrances and parking. Families can send flowers directly through the website, and obituaries are posted with options for email notifications.

The funeral home is committed to serving families with compassion and professionalism, honoring the memory of loved ones with dignity. Briggs Funeral Home is a trusted provider in the community, offering personalized care during difficult times.
