Parker-White Funeral Home

Parker-White Funeral Home, located at 17 North Greenwood Avenue Extension in Ware Shoals, South Carolina, has been a trusted pillar of the community since 1951. Founded by James H. Parker and later joined by Billy and Carrie Lee White, the funeral home was established to provide compassionate, dignified care to families in their times of greatest need. The funeral home originally operated from a location within the Riegel Textile Mill's company store, known as the 'Big Friendly,' before moving to its current site. Over the decades, Parker-White has evolved with the changing landscape of funeral service while maintaining its commitment to guiding families through the process of honoring and remembering their loved ones. Today, the business is operated by the third generation of the family, continuing a legacy of high standards and personalized care.

Parker-White Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of the families it serves. These include traditional funeral services, cremation, memorial ceremonies, and graveside services. Each arrangement is tailored to reflect the unique life being honored, whether that involves a religious service, a simple cremation with a private gathering, or a personalized celebration of life. The facility features on-site parking and is wheelchair accessible, ensuring that all guests can attend comfortably. The funeral home also provides burial services and works closely with families to handle logistics, paperwork, and coordination with cemeteries, clergy, and other vendors.

Beyond immediate-need arrangements, Parker-White encourages pre-planning to help individuals document their wishes and lock in current pricing, easing the burden on loved ones. The funeral home maintains an active online obituary platform where families can view tributes and subscribe to notifications for recent deaths in the community. Parker-White proudly serves Ware Shoals, Greenwood County, and the surrounding areas, offering a local presence that understands the traditions, faith communities, and cemeteries most important to the families it serves.
