Our Story

Our Heritage.

In 1977 our family purchased a local, family owned funeral home that was founded by B. Frank Harris over 50 years earlier. Mr. Harris had deep connections to our community, which we have maintained and nurtured.

Our Commitment.

To better serve our families, we continually look for ways to further enhance the meaning and value of your tribute.

To your comfort:

In 2003, after many years of consultation and study with people involved in funeral service, Gordon Funeral Service moved to a new location at 1904 Lancaster Avenue in Monroe. Our 16,500 square foot facility offers all the amenities for greater comfort and a meaningful service. We maintain state-of-the-art sound and video systems and an immaculate automotive fleet. Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged.

To your peace of mind:

In 2010, we opened our new crematory; giving the families we serve complete assurance that our own fully trained personnel handle all cremations on-site. We are proud of the fact that Gordon Funeral Service is the only funeral home in Union County, North Carolina that offers an “on-site” crematory.

Our Promise.

We assure all families we serve, that this commitment to provide the finest facilities, services, equipment, staff and care will continue as long as the Gordon family exists.

Because we care about our community, we also continue to maintain strong relationships with local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, the local churches, and other civic organizations, and proud of the fact that our company offers the longest local history of funeral service, value, concern, and personal attention.
