Briggs Funeral Home

Briggs Funeral Home, a division of J. Briggs, Inc., is a family-owned and operated funeral home with deep roots in North Carolina. Founded and led by Jack and Joan Briggs, with their son Daniel actively involved, the business operates from its home office in Denton, North Carolina. While the Troy location at 202 West Main Street is a historic part of the company's service area, Briggs Funeral Home currently maintains active chapels in Denton and Candor, proudly serving families across the Piedmont and Sandhills regions. The Troy chapel, though temporarily closed according to recent records, remains a recognized part of the Briggs legacy, reflecting the company's longstanding commitment to compassionate care in Montgomery County.

As a full-service funeral home, Briggs offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor loved ones and support grieving families. These include traditional burial and funeral services, cremation options, direct cremation, and direct burial. The funeral home provides use of its facilities for visitations, funeral ceremonies, memorial services, and graveside services, along with necessary equipment such as funeral coaches and family cars. Additional professional services include transfer of remains, embalming, and the guidance of experienced funeral directors. Briggs also offers special services for veterans, ensuring their sacrifice is honored with dignity and respect. Understanding that grief is a deeply personal journey, the funeral home provides grief support resources, including a year-long program of weekly messages to offer hope and healing during the difficult first year after a loss. Families can also send flowers and sympathy gifts directly through the funeral home.

Briggs Funeral Home distinguishes itself through its family-oriented approach. The Briggs family works alongside a dedicated, long-standing staff to provide personal care to every family they serve. In addition to its funeral homes, the Briggs family co-owns and operates several other funeral home companies throughout the Piedmont and Sandhills, as well as a crematory in Lexington that serves all their locations. The business also operates Rex Furniture Company and Mountain View Memorial Gardens, a perpetual care cemetery in Denton. This broad network allows Briggs Funeral Home to offer seamless continuity of care, whether a family chooses burial at Mountain View or another cemetery. The funeral home is recognized for offering financial assistance options and features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, ensuring its facilities are welcoming to all. With a history of service spanning generations, Briggs Funeral Home continues to be a trusted and compassionate presence for families during their most difficult times.
