Our firm has been dedicated to serving area families since we first opened these doors. We respond to our families' wishes to ensure all of their funeral service needs are met.
The year was 1913. Mr. H.B. Wilkinson from Concord, NC came to the newly organized unincorporated town of Kannapolis, just 4 miles north, to open a furniture store. At this time in our history, a persons' family handled all of the burial arrangements; therefore a place to purchase caskets was needed. As a sideline business to the sale of furniture, Mr. Wilkinson added wooden caskets to the other furniture merchandise that he offered. He named his business H.B. Wilkinson Furniture and Undertaking Company, and it was located on Main Street in the center of town in a building leased from Cannon Mills Company.
