By Jeanna Baxter White
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.
“This funeral home has always been a well-respected business in the community and it is great to see this tradition continue,” said Caroline Moser, president of the Davie County Chamber of Commerce. “I wish the Lambert Family great success.”
The Lamberts have made Mocksville their home for more than 30 years, where they raised their three children and have actively been involved in organizations and community projects.
He has more than three decades of funeral service experience serving Davie and surrounding areas having formally worked at Eaton Funeral Home. He is a graduate of Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. He is a certified funeral service practitioner, a designation from the Academy of Funeral Service Practice when one completes 180 hours of additional funeral service education and 20 hours annually in professional continuing education. He is also a certified crematory operator.
She has worked alongside her husband for the past 26 years and specializes in providing assistance and post-service follow-up to families. She graduated with highest honors from Fayetteville Technical Community College and holds a funeral director’s certificate.
“Kim and I are honored to have served Davie County for over 30 years. We invite you to come by and compare why we are Davie County’s true locally-owned and operated funeral home,” said Lambert.
