VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BELK FUNERAL HOME FOR THE MANY YEARS OF SYMPATHETIC SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE OFFERED FAMILIES IN DARLINGTON COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING PEE DEE REGION.
Whereas, for decades the Belk Funeral Home has been a respected and trusted institution serving families in Darlington County and the surrounding Pee Dee region. They are known for their compassionate care and commitment to honoring life. The funeral home has played an important role in helping generations of families commemorate their loved ones with dignity and respect; and
Whereas, Belk Funeral Home was established in April of 1961 by Marion C. Belk, Frankie Oliver Belk, and Harold L. King. The founders transformed a historic residence on West Broad Street into a funeral home through extensive renovation, creating a space designed to serve the needs of grieving families while maintaining the character of the historic structure; and
Whereas, the building itself, located at 229 West Broad Street, carries an even deeper history. The structure was originally built around 1900 as a private residence for Abraham Hyman. It was designed and constructed by Lawrence Reese, a noted local craftsman and self-taught designer responsible for many of the historic homes in Darlington's West Broad Street district. The home is considered one of Reese's favorite designs and contributes to the historic character of the area; and
Whereas, Belk Funeral Home was founded on a commitment to personal service and community connection. Over the decades, the funeral home has assisted countless families with funeral and memorial services, providing guidance and support during difficult times. Their services have evolved to include traditional funerals, cremation options, memorial services, and advance planning to help families prepare for the future; and
Whereas, today Belk Funeral Home continues its long tradition of service to Darlington County and the surrounding Pee Dee region. Through its dedication to compassion, professionalism, and community involvement, the funeral home remains an enduring part of the city's history and a place where families gather to celebrate lives, preserve memories, and find comfort in times of loss. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Belk Funeral Home for the many years of sympathetic service that they have offered families in Darlington County and the surrounding Pee Dee region.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Belk Funeral Home.
