History

The Drum family of funeral homes was founded in 1926 by David Slyvanius Drum, known as “Van Drum” around the community. With more than 90 years of continuous service, the Conover, North Carolina, location is the oldest funeral home in Catawba County.

In 1986, Stuart Terry, a Catawba County native, returned from Raleigh and purchased the business from the Drum family. Drum Funeral Homes joined the Dignity Memorial family in 2012. Stuart's son, Greg Terry, remained active in the business.
