About Howard-Carter Funeral Home

Howard-Carter Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home serving the Kinston, NC area. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to assist families with a range of arrangements, and their independent status means decisions are made locally rather than by a corporate parent company. Direct cremation starts at $2,700, though pricing for other services is not publicly available, so families are encouraged to request a full price list when making contact. The home holds a 4.5-star Google rating, though with only 12 reviews, that score reflects a limited sample and may not capture the full range of family experiences.
