History

Front exterior at Snow's Memorial ChapelLocated in downtown Macon, Snow’s Memorial Chapel began in 1892 as Burgard Funeral Furnishings. In 1942, William A. Snow, Jr. bought the funeral home for his brother-in-law, Everett Sammons, and changed the name to Memorial Chapel.

In 1959, Sammons’ nephew, William A. Snow III, began working at the funeral home, and in 1973, Everett Sammons passed away, William A. Snow III and his wife managed the business. Later in 1979, he purchased the funeral home from his father and changed the name to Snow’s Memorial Chapel. Both Mr. and Mrs. William A. Snow III are still active in the business today.

Reginald Smith, who began working with us in 1965, has a long-term heritage of serving in our funeral home. William A. Snow IV, who started in 1983, manages Snow’s Memorial Chapel on Cherry Street and is also the General Manager of the Macon Georgia Group.

Featured customer testimonials

We love hearing from the families we serve. Their feedback helps us continue creating meaningful celebrations that honor loved ones with unparalleled attention to detail.

Unfortunately, my family had three funerals arranged by Snows in the span of 6 months. Snows is one company that I can say does their job flawlessly with care and patience. Snows helps navigate these sad times by taking care of the many details in funeral planning.

Bill and his staff were exemplary from the first phone call to the end of the service celebrating our mother's life. They provided us with all the information we needed, helped us to create the perfect service, and were there to comfort and support. My family could not have asked for anything more.
