The late Ray Pinckard became the owner of Green Hills Memorial Cemetery shortly after it was established in 1955. Ray's dream was to eventually build a funeral home on the property to serve the residents of Pike County and the surrounding area. His dream was realized in 2007 when his son, Benny Pinckard, constructed Green Hills Funeral Home.
Before the first plans were ever drawn for Green Hills, Benny and his wife, Krissy, visited several funeral homes across the southeast. Benny wanted to know what other funeral home owners would have done differently in order to better serve families if they could build anew. The result of this research was a funeral home designed so that families could celebrate the life of a loved one in a warm, pleasant, and comfortable setting.

Pre-Arrangements
Report
We plan for every aspect of life. Having a family, vacations, weddings and retirement are all things we plan for. We prepare for what might happen such as fires, accidents or floods. But, because most of us do not like to think about death, we avoid making important funeral decisions in advance. Now, more than ever, it is important to plan ahead.

The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
