Our Founder
Brunswick Funeral Service was established in Shallotte, North Carolina, in 1983 by second-generation funeral director Michael D. "Dicky" Powell, and his wife, Connie W. Powell, also a funeral director.
Constructed in Brunswick Memorial Gardens, a perpetual care cemetery, Brunswick Funeral Service became, and remains today, the only funeral home, cemetery, mausoleum, columbarium, crematory at one location in Brunswick County, as well as Southeastern North Carolina.
From traditional to contemporary, and everywhere between, Brunswick Funeral Service remains committed to meeting your family’s needs and expectations by customizing a service as unique as your loved one.
