A house RESOLUTION

TO 
RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BELK FUNERAL HOME FOR THE MANY YEARS OF SYMPATHETIC 
SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE OFFERED FAMILIES IN DARLINGTON COUNTY AND THE 
SURROUNDING PEE DEE REGION.

Whereas, for decades the Belk Funeral Home has been a respected and 
trusted institution serving families in Darlington County and the surrounding 
Pee Dee region. They are known for their compassionate care and commitment to 
honoring life. The funeral home has played an important role in helping 
generations of families commemorate their loved ones with dignity and respect; 
and

Whereas, Belk Funeral Home was established in April of 1961 by Marion 
C. Belk, Frankie Oliver Belk, and Harold L. King. The founders transformed a 
historic residence on West Broad Street into a funeral home through extensive 
renovation, creating a space designed to serve the needs of grieving families 
while maintaining the character of the historic structure; and

Whereas, the building itself, located at 229 West Broad Street, 
carries an even deeper history. The structure was originally built around 1900 
as a private residence for Abraham Hyman. It was designed and constructed by 
Lawrence Reese, a noted local craftsman and self-taught designer responsible 
for many of the historic homes in Darlington's West Broad Street district. The 
home is considered one of Reese's favorite designs and contributes to the 
historic character of the area; and

Whereas, Belk Funeral Home was founded on a commitment to personal 
service and community connection. Over the decades, the funeral home has 
assisted countless families with funeral and memorial services, providing 
guidance and support during difficult times. Their services have evolved to 
include traditional funerals, cremation options, memorial services, and advance 
planning to help families prepare for the future; and 

Whereas, today Belk Funeral Home continues its long tradition of 
service to Darlington County and the surrounding Pee Dee region. Through its 
dedication to compassion, professionalism, and community involvement, the 
funeral home remains an enduring part of the city's history and a place where 
families gather to celebrate lives, preserve memories, and find comfort in 
times of loss. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of 
Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House 
of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Belk 
Funeral Home for the many years of sympathetic service that they have offered 
families in Darlington County and the surrounding Pee Dee region.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Belk Funeral Home.
