McKnight Fraser Funeral Homes

McKnight-Fraser Funeral Homes has been a steadfast pillar of compassionate care in Georgetown and Andrews, South Carolina, since its founding in 1956 by Rev. and Mrs. Wallace J. McKnight, Sr. As a family-owned and operated establishment, it has served the surrounding communities for over 65 years, evolving from a modest funeral home into a trusted provider of end-of-life services. The main location at 2230 North Fraser Street in Georgetown (P.O. Box 779) and the original chapel at 406 West Ashland Street in Andrews reflect the firm’s deep roots in the Lowcountry. The business is currently under the stewardship of Roberta W. McKnight, Wallace McKnight, Jr., Wallace McKnight, III, and Brittany Grant (with Christopher McKnight also part of the family team), ensuring that the personal touch and legacy of the founders continue.

McKnight-Fraser Funeral Homes offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor the unique life of every individual. These include traditional burial services, cremation with various options, and pre-arrangement planning that allows families to make thoughtful decisions ahead of time. The staff is dedicated to providing personalized, professional care that respects diverse traditions and preferences, from classic funeral services to more creative celebrations of life. In addition to funeral planning, the firm provides grief support resources, including a free daily email program called '365 Days of Healing,' which offers ongoing comfort to those who have lost a loved one. For convenience, families can browse merchandise, send flowers, or access service information through the funeral home’s website.

The Georgetown chapel is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking, and the facility offers both burial and cremation services. While recent online listings noted the business as temporarily closed, the official website and contact information remain active, and the staff continues to assist families by phone, email, and in person. The funeral home maintains affiliations with professional organizations such as the National Funeral Directors Association, the South Carolina Funeral Directors Association, and the South Carolina Morticians Association, and it holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Obituary notifications and service updates are available via email subscription, and the funeral home maintains a presence on social media platforms like Facebook to connect with the community.

McKnight-Fraser Funeral Homes stands as a trusted guide for families navigating the difficult journey of loss. Its long-standing commitment to dignity, respect, and personalized care has made it a cornerstone of the Georgetown and Andrews communities. Whether a family is planning immediate arrangements or considering pre-need services, the professional and caring staff is prepared to provide support every step of the way.
