Ridge Funeral Home & Cremation Service goes   back to 1851 when it was a livery stable and   undertaking shop. It is believed to be one of the   oldest continuing operation businesses in   Asheboro. Over the years there have been  several   owners and the funeral home has   operated under several different names. 

In 1978 Jim Swaringen and Kirk Goodman purchased the business from the estate of Robert H. Ridge. Jim played a key role in the sucess of the business until his death in 2007. The funeral home is currently a Limited Liability Corporation owned by partners Andy Huffine, Kirk Goodman and Nancy Swaringen and is also an honored Dignity Memorial® Provider. Andy, Kirk and Nancy are there to serve the client families daily

Ridge Funeral Home & Cremation Service is licensed by the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service as a full service funeral service establishment. Charles T. Reeder serves as Location Manager.

Ridge Funeral Home & Cremation Service is operated by a staff of caring professionals who are dedicated to caring for the families we serve. The Ridge hosting staff, along with the full time professionals, works hard at hosting the friends of the family as they call at the funeral home. We believe that by making a "home like" atmosphere and taking good care of family and friends makes everyone feel more at ease.

Our attention to the presentation of every family's loved one, even if only for a private viewing before cremation, is an art that is very important to our talented and well trained preparation staff. We know this is an important component of the grief process.

We encourage the public to come by our funeral home, meet the staff and view our location before the need of our services. An informed person can better make choices when it becomes necessary.
