Twiford Funeral Homes are a locally owned, fourth-generation firm serving Northeastern North Carolina since 1933.
Our founder, Sam A. Twiford Sr. often said: “We may have several funerals today, but remember, the families we are serving only have one.” This simple
statement has become a guiding principle for all of our organizations. Only by recognizing that families we are serving need our total and complete focus, can we begin to meet their needs. We strive to offer complete, yet flexible, services to all families in our communities. Our firm, and the Twiford family, has provided compassionate, dignified services for over four generations. Affordable service is a must. We strive to provide services to meet the needs of all members of the communities we
serve. Only by providing quality service at reasonable prices are we able to meet the vision of our father and the founder of Twiford Funeral Homes.
