Our Thompson Locations

J.R. "Buddy" Thompson founded Thompson Funeral Home in 1928. Since then, it has provided unmatched personal service to the Cayce, West Columbia, and Columbia communities, earning lasting loyalty from area residents. When we added a second location in Lexington and beautiful Greenlawn Memorial Park, Thompson became a trusted community partner for generations of Midlands families. We embrace the rich diversity of our community and offer multicultural funeral services. Whether a family prefers the traditional funeral and casketed ground burial in our cemetery or a direct cremation with a celebration of life, our dedicated staff ensures it is a farewell to remember. At Thompson, we also appreciate that compassionate care does not end with the service. We have robust grief support resources to help families through this highly emotional and transitional time. We also carry a large collection of beautiful memorial items and keepsakes. For families who choose cremation, there are many meaningful ways to commemorate a loved one, including permanent memorialization at Greenlawn Memorial Park. Thompson Funeral Homes is here to guide your family through the challenging process of making funeral arrangements for a loved one or helping you personalize your end-of-life journey with preplanning arrangements.
