Lambert-Graham Funeral Home celebrated its grand opening on Tuesday, December 10th, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Davie County Chamber of Commerce. Despite the nasty weather, more than 150 area residents turned out to congratulate new owners, Carl and Kim Lambert, and to tour the newly renovated and redecorated facility.
The husband and wife team purchased the funeral home, located at 635 Wilkesboro Street in Mocksville, from Dorothy Graham, who owned and operated the funeral home for more than 20 years.
