Bratton Funeral Home

Bratton Funeral Home, located at 1455 Filbert Highway in York, South Carolina, has been a cornerstone of compassionate end-of-life care for the local community since its founding in 1999. With a stellar 4.5-star rating from families who have placed their trust in its services, this full-service funeral home is dedicated to honoring lives with dignity, respect, and a truly personal touch. The business was established by Kenneth (Kenny) Bratton, a seasoned funeral director who previously spent decades serving families at York Funeral Home. Drawing on over 40 years of experience in the industry, Kenny Bratton opened his own funeral home to provide a more intimate and family-centered approach to funeral and cremation services. Today, the family legacy continues as his son, Walt Bratton, works alongside him, bringing the same warmth, empathy, and commitment to service that has defined the Bratton name for generations. Walt, a lifelong York resident, developed a passion for the funeral profession at a young age and now assists families with every aspect of their arrangements. Joining them is Dean Shillinglaw, a licensed funeral director who has worked alongside Kenny for 35 years, both at York Funeral Home and Bratton Funeral Home. Dean, also a longtime York resident, has served the community in multiple capacities, further reinforcing the home’s deep roots and unwavering dedication. The entire staff at Bratton Funeral Home understands that the time following a loss is profoundly difficult, and they strive to ease that burden through thoughtful, compassionate guidance. The home offers a comprehensive range of services to meet diverse needs and preferences. These include traditional burial services, cremation services, personalized service program packages, and pre-arrangement planning to help individuals make their wishes known in advance. Specialized resources for veterans are available, including assistance with headstones and burial flags. Additionally, the staff provides grief support, frequently asked questions, probate information, and guidance on funeral etiquette and social security benefits. The facility is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking, ensuring that all visitors can comfortably attend services. Operating hours are Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with the staff always available by phone for urgent needs. Bratton Funeral Home also maintains an active obituary page, keeping the community informed of recent passings and upcoming services. By combining decades of professional experience with a genuine, family-first atmosphere, Bratton Funeral Home continues to serve as a trusted source of comfort and care for York, SC, and the surrounding areas.
