Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home & Crematory - Great Neck Chapel
Hollomon-Brown's primary function is to be of assistance to those who have the responsibility and the right to care for a family member who has died. It is our desire to help the next of kin with that responsibility in any way possible. To accomplish that, we offer many services and funeral merchandise along with the most up to date facilities at each one of our funeral homes. Our job is to explain any and all options available; and the next of kin makes the choice as to the type of funeral arrangements they desire.
We have ten convenient locations serving the Hampton Roads area that are designed to make a difficult time a little easier for the families that we serve. The funeral of a loved one is a time in which family and friends gather to honor a life lived and to support the next of kin. It is comforting for the family to know that they have chosen a facility that provides a gracious place with ample room, to receive their guests. Families have long looked to Hollomon-Brown for superior facilities
