Juddie A. Revels Jr. & Olivia M. Revels

The management and staff at the two Revels’ locations – 3575 N. Roberts Ave. in Lumberton and 407 Breece Street in Pembroke – pride themselves on providing the services and care needed to help families through a period of stress, anxiety and grief.

Revels Funeral Home was established in 1956 in Pembroke by the late Juddie and Winnie Lee Revels. They served Pembroke and the surrounding area until 1981, at which time their son, Juddie A. Revels, Jr. and his wife, Olivia Maynor Revels, assumed responsibility for the business.

Since the recent passing of Olivia Maynor Revels and Juddie A. Revels, Jr. in 2008, the business has continued to thrive under the ownership and management of their son Juddie A. Revels, III and his wife, Gina Maynor-Revels.

Construction of Revels Funeral Home of Lumberton began in October 1998 and was completed in June 2000.

The Revels’ staff consists of Six Licensed Funeral Directors, Three Embalmers, Six Ministers, and three receptionists who help with providing professional services. “The experienced funeral directors at Revels Funeral Home will guide you through the aspects of the funeral service with compassion, dignity, and respect. Our staff of dedicated professionals is available to assist you in making funeral service arrangements. From casket choices to funeral flowers, the funeral directors provide individualized funeral services designed to meet the needs of each family,” according to Revels III.

This commitment and service starts with a website, www.revelsfh.com that guides users through the process of ordering flowers directly from the site. Users of the website will find enhanced obituaries with a guest book, an automatic email subscription feature that tells users when new notices are posted, and new ways to send condolences, such as food gifts and sympathy cards.

“Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the family of the deceased. Funerals are recognized rituals for the living to show their respect for the deceased and to help survivors begin the grieving process,” according to management.

Families can have a full funeral service even for those choosing cremation. The Revels staff stands ready to guide families through this process. “Overcoming the pain is never easy, but a meaningful funeral or tribute will help”.

Families can also choose a funeral with full military honors for veterans. The basic Military Funeral Honors ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veteran’s family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces.

“The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran. The type of Funeral Honors may be Full Military Honors, 7-Person Detail, or a Standard Honors Team Detail.”

Revels Funeral Home is driven to make sure to meet all the requirements and needs set forth by the community and families they serve. Building a trusting and long lasting relationship in the process.
