Flowers Funeral Home

At Sossamon Funeral Home, we understand that losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences a family can face. It's why we're committed to providing compassionate and caring support during this sensitive time. Our family-owned and family-operated funeral home has been serving Vance County and the surrounding area for many years, offering traditional funeral services, graveside services, memorial services, and cremation services.

Our Story

Our story began with our founder, Rev. Frank Sossamon, who served as a pastor in the area for over 37 years. His commitment to serving the community and his neighbor led him to establish Sossamon Funeral Home, where we prioritize providing exceptional care to families in their time of need. Our team consists of experienced professionals, including John F. Sossamon II, our owner and licensed funeral director, and Rev. Frank Sossamon, our grief counselor.
