Scot Ward Funeral Services

The Ward Family began funeral service in Dekalb and Henry counties in 1958 as a family owned company. They later sold Horis A. Ward Funeral Homes and Fairview Memorial Gardens to an international corporate entity in 1993 who continues to own and operate those operations. Scot Ward and his father Richard Ward decided to leave the international corporate structure and bring funeral service back to the way their family started. Today, Scot Ward and Richard Ward continue their family legacy as the owners and operators of Scot Ward Funeral Services. Scot Ward and Richard Ward purchased Harry L. White Funeral Home which is one of the oldest licensed establishments remaining in Rockdale County. It began as Almand Funeral Home in 1892 and later became Harry L. White Funeral Home in 1919. Waldo and Evelyn Bowen, Mr. White's son-in-law and daughter, took over the business in 1965. In February 2005 it became Scot Ward Funeral Services – Harry White Chapel. Scot Ward and Richard Ward also purchased Green Meadow Memorial Gardens. More than just a funeral home...We are here to help our families create a dignified and meaningful remembrance for their loved ones at a most difficult time in their life. We commit to our families and their friends that they will be handled with care through every service provided by Scot Ward Funeral Services. We commit to contribute back to the community through our Community Contribution Program. Through this program, ten percent of the funeral home and/or cemetery service charges will be contributed in memory of their loved one to a church of the family’s choice or to the charities Scot Ward Funeral Services supports. To date, over $1,550,000.00 have been contributed. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve each family that entrusts Scot Ward Funeral Services to care for their loved one.
