About Carolina Funeral Home & Gardens
Carolina Funeral Home & Gardens is a full-service funeral home in North Charleston operating under Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — families who prefer locally or independently owned businesses may want to keep that in mind. They offer a range of services including traditional burial and cremation, and as a full-service provider likely support pre-planning arrangements, though families should ask directly about specific offerings. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so we recommend requesting an itemized General Price List, which all funeral homes are legally required to provide. With a 4.7-star rating across 168 Google reviews, customer feedback is largely positive, with reviewers consistently praising individual staff members — particularly for their attentiveness and personal touches during a difficult time — though at least one reviewer reported a serious and prolonged dispute over prepaid arrangements and missing records, which is worth noting for families considering pre-planning services.
