In the early 1900’s, our grandfather, Walter R. Holloway (1899-1983), worked with his father in the funeral business and was often called in the middle of the night to serve local families. He traveled in a horse and buggy style hearse along the county’s direct rads with a lantern to light he way. The “homemade” hearse was crafted by his father, Samuel J.R. Holloway, a part-time cabinet maker in Wicomoco County.

Much as changed in our area and in funeral service since “Pop-Pop” Holloway and our father, W.R. Holloway Sr. nurtured our business to its current location on Snow Hill Road. We have added three licensed funeral directors, two on-site crematories and acquired Melson Funeral Home in Pocomoke City.

Throughout four generations, we have maintained a professional, caring commitment for the families we have served. We’re here for you.


The Holloway Code

Our first priority is to provide the very best in caring, compassionate, and quality service to every family we are entrusted to serve.

Our intent and responsibility is to uphold the very highest level of professionalism, character, and integrity. Honesty in all transactions is our benchmark, and we welcome being fairly compared to other funeral homes. We also believe it is important to provide the opportunity for people to plan funerals in advance and consider various options without pressure or obligation.

Funerals are more than observances of the passage of life— they are Celebrations of Life to which every person is entitled. We also believe every family has the right to choose their own way of celebrating life. Because of this, we have become local leaders in providing services that are unique, meaningful, and healing.
