No one is happy to need the services of a funeral home, but Parks Funeral Home and the Summerville Cemetery & Mausoleum help families through their toughest times. The facilities are spacious and welcoming, reminiscent of a plantation house, with appropriate lighting and decoration, as well as beautiful furniture adorning the sitting areas. Parks Funeral Home was started by John Parks, Sr. back in 1940, and today it is in its third generation of family ownership and management, with Jack Parks, Jr. and Johnny Parks, III currently running the business.
