Due to the recent mandate by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. Purcell Funeral Home & Cremation Services requires that all individuals entering our facilities must wear a face mask or some form of facial covering that protects the nose and mouth.

Purcell Funeral Home & Cremation Services LLC will continue to serve families as we have done regularly, we recognize our responsibility to protect the health of our families and the communities which we serve. Therefore federal, state and local health ordinance may impact the number of people gathering for visitation, funeral, memorial service, and reception under the current Executive Orders by Governor Cooper. 

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns at our Laurinburg location at 910-610-1147 or our Southern Pines location at 910-693-1147.
