Holloway Funeral Home

About

Holloway Funeral Home is an independent family-owned funeral and cremation service provider. We also specialize in pet loss and monument memorials.

Description

In the late 1800's and early 1900's, our forefathers, Samuel J.R. Holloway and Walter R. Holloway (1899-1983) began serving Wicomico County to provide the best funeral services in the area. As a cabinet maker, Samuel crafted all necessities for the business, from a horse-drawn-carriage to the caskets that were provided to families. As Samuel became older, Walter stepped in to fill the large shoes left by his father. Often going out at all hours of the night to aid families in need, Walter took the reigns in leading the business with the utmost professionalism and care.

Much has changed in recent years not only our area, but the funeral industry as well. Walter, along with our father, W. Richard Holloway Sr. (1928-2011) nurtured our company to our main location on Snow Hill Road in Salisbury. As the company has grown, our resources have grown as well. We have seven licensed funeral directors, state-of-the-art preparation facilities, and three on-site crematories. In more recent years, we have also expanded to include a location in Pocomoke City, Maryland.

Leading into the fifth generation of Holloways, we have maintained a professional and caring commitment to the families served. This commitment is our way of letting you know we're here for you.

Our first priority is to provide the very best in caring, compassionate, and quality service to every family we are entrusted to serve.

Our intent and responsibility is to uphold the very highest level of professionalism, character, and integrity. Honesty in all transactions is our benchmark, and we welcome being fairly compared to other funeral homes. We also believe it is important to provide the opportunity for families and individuals to plan funerals in advance and consider various options without pressure or obligation.

Funerals are more than observances of the passage of life. They are Celebrations of Life to which every person is entitled. We also believe every family has the right to choose their own way of celebrating life. Because of this, we have become local leaders in providing services that are unique, meaningful, and healing.

Reviews
I attended Holloway in recent days for a family funeral. Top notch service, empathy, and just a delight to deal with that every business should aspire to give. Thank you Ashley, Marie, Mike, Sheldon, and Paul. You are all awesome people.
This is an update to my original review. I felt that management took my concerns seriously and addressed them appropriately after I took issue with the planning for my mother's service. It turned out pretty well all things considered. Even after the pandemic subsides, there will still be a significant amount of virtual interaction required in our society. All businesses need to be prepared. Original review: I had a very different experience with Holloway Funeral Home than the other reviewers. Apparently I didn't spend enough money because the tone of this business transaction changed entirely when we decided on a virtual service. I'm extremely frustrated and stressed during a time when I should be given the space to mourn my mother's passing. I was surprised because I have only seen and experienced good things with Holloway in the past. Based on this experience, my family and I will work with a different funeral home in the future.
I have never personally had to contact Holloway for their services before. Unfortunately, we just recently had to because our extremely loved dog passed away and we wanted him cremated. I was so impressed with their level of caring and respect shown to us during this difficult time. The vet’s office contacted Holloway’s and they picked our boy up, walked us through the process via telephone and then called us when his cremains were ready for pick up. Jessica was so kind when we went to pick him up. I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend their services!
My siblings and I used Holloway Funeral services at the Salisbury location last week after our mother passed away suddenly in the middle of the global pandemic. We only wanted the best and Holloway funeral services are highly recommended. Keith and his staff were friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. They handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed in the difficult area of death. The whole process was emotionally difficult due to the fact I was all the way in New Jersey, in the middle of a global pandemic, and my mom passed away in Salisbury while she was visiting but, I never felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual. All the logistical items were clear, and Keith took the time to explain everything in detail. They definitely took our feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated. Holloway Funeral Services showed great respect and care throughout. If I requested information, Keith was very responsive and provided the information I needed right away. No hoops to jump through, or multiple calls to make. I highly recommend them. Thank you! You truly made a difference during such a difficult time.
The very fine people of Holloway funeral home do a great job very professional and very kind. Just last week we buried my Dad Britta Funeral director Very professional kind and understanding through the whole process .I have known John Holloway for many years his whole family does a wonderful job preparing everything for the funeral and the service I highly recommend this professional group of people to take care of your all your needs. Thanks Holloway Funeral Home you made this experience very Pleasant
Holloway's funeral home is the best for taking care of your loved ones at the end, they are very very caring for you and your family especially your loved one . I was 100 percent happy with their services, before and during they are there for you in need.
The funeral representatives at Holloway Funeral Home were very respectful and they went over and above to make sure everything that we wanted occurred. We would absolutely recommend them to those planning a funeral for a loved on.
My family was very pleased with Holloway Funeral Home's services. The staff, to a man, went above and beyond for us. I honestly don't know how they could have done more.
Update: I dont have words for how wonderful this place is. Getting a personal card a year later that was signed couldn't have been more kind and amazing. Thank you again to everyone there. I cant thank you all enough for showing me not all funeral homes are the same. No fakeness or forced services, everything was kind and professional and real. I appreciate you all for taking care of our mother.
I moved from PA and I had 2 pets pass away within 5 months of eachother. It was absolutely devastating. Dealing with an unfamiliar place was scary until I met Joy in the pet section of the funeral home. She is the most pleasant & comforting person I've ever met. Her name says it all. She is a true "joy" to work with. I know my pets Beau & Zola's remains were treated with respect & dignity. I'm very grateful. Also the memorial products they have are so nice. It was all around a wonderful experience during one of the saddest two times in my life.
