About Gus Thornhill's Funeral Home

Gus Thornhill's Funeral Home is an independently owned business in East Point, Georgia, founded in 1979 by Gus Thornhill Jr. — a former East Point police officer and community figure whose ties to the area ran so deep that the city renamed the street the funeral home sits on in his honor; the founder passed away in 2025, and current leadership is not publicly specified. The home offers traditional burial, cremation, memorial services, live streaming, pre-need planning, and an on-site repast center, though no on-site crematory is mentioned. No price list is publicly available online, and third-party directories place the home in the mid-to-upper price range for the local market; one reviewer raised a specific concern that costs were significantly higher when life insurance was used to pay versus out of pocket, so families using insurance assignments are advised to request a full itemized price list in writing before finalizing arrangements. Across 118 Google reviews, the home holds a 4.1 out of 5 rating, with a 94% recommendation rate on Facebook, and customers most often praise the staff's compassion and the quality of preparation work — several staff members are named by name in positive reviews — making this a well-regarded option for families who take the time to confirm pricing upfront.

Gus Thornhill's Funeral Home cared for my mother after her passing in December 2025. I want to acknowledge how much I appreciate the service of Mr. Calvin and Ms. Howard, in particular, although everyone we encountered provided exceptional service.
