During a time of loss, you need the help of compassionate experts who can offer guidance and support throughout the planning process. At Harley Funeral Home & Crematory, we believe that every life deserves to be celebrated. Our mission is to assist families in creating personalized funeral experiences that honor the life of their loved ones.  

Founded in 1947, L. Ruple Harley Sr. purchased Mobley Williams' share of the Williams-Harley Funeral Home (then Ellis Funeral Home). Since then, Harley Funeral Home & Crematory has been serving the community through four generations of the Harley family. The family's history of funeral service dates back even further, as Mr. Harley's brothers, I.S. and Clifton, operated Dukes-Harley Funeral Home in Orangeburg long before L. Ruple Harley Sr. established the current funeral home.

Many changes have taken place since 1947. In 1951, Harley Funeral Home & Crematory relocated the chapel to what is now a landmark building on the corner of S. Main Street and Creswell Avenue. Over time, the facility has been renovated several times to provide outstanding service to the community. But one thing will never change - the Harley family's commitment to being readily available as friends and advisers and serving others like they would want to be served.
