Crumpler-Honeycutt Funeral Home began as J.C. Holiday Furniture Store and Undertakers in the early 1900s. Johnny Crumpler and Furman J. Honeycutt, employees of Mr. Holiday, purchased the business in the 1920s changing the name to Crumpler-Honeycutt Furniture and Funeral Directors which operated in the old downtown business district. In 1938 the present location was completed as a full service funeral home, thus renaming the establishment Crumpler-Honeycutt Funeral Home. In the early 1940s Cary Robinson and James F. Honeycutt became shareholders in the company and served along with Johnny and Furman until their deaths. Gene Barefoot, a long time employee of Crumpler-Honeycutt, is now the majority owner of the company. His daughter Nancy manages the business.
In 2005 the current building underwent extensive renovations, doubling the size of the funeral home. The renovations included a large visitation room with memorial tribute capabilities and a state of the art sound system, a new funeral merchandise selection room, additional restrooms and a conference room. The new additions are handicap accessible and additional parking was constructed at the McKoy Street entrance.
