Cannon-Byrd Funeral Home was founded in Fountain Inn, S.C. in 1879 by James A. Cannon. Arthur Dickson Cannon, the second generation, founded Cannon Memorial Park, and James Cannon carried the family legacy forward as the third generation. The firm was sold in 1991 and later changed hands several times under corporate ownership.
In October 2012, after years of planning, Andy Byrd and the late James Cannon partnered to open a funeral home in Simpsonville under private ownership.
In October 2016 we reacquired the funeral home and memorial park on North Main Street in Fountain Inn, returning that operation to local, private ownership. Today these locations serve families together as Cannon-Byrd Funeral Services — with the same care and commitment that has defined our family for generations.
