History
Much has 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.
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. Our StaffOur staff strives to offer you personal attention and care. Please click on one of the names below, or scroll down the page, to view the profile of one of our staff members.
John M Holloway, Funeral Director & Company PresidentBeen with Holloway Funeral Home for 25 years Description: Caring for families at a difficult time is my top priority. Meeting with families and managing our staff to handle and respond to the needs of our families wants and requirements is most important. My goal is to continue what my grandfather and father started by serving all families regardless of what their financial status is, and helping them to say goodbye to their loved one in a respectful manner. Helpful Advice: My advice to families is to plan ahead. Talk to all of your family and find out what they would like to see happen at the time of your death. Remember the funeral and the opportunity to say goodbye is for the living and not the deceased. Although this is not always a pleasant experience it is a healthy experience. Click here to contact me

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.
