Manigault-Hurley Funeral Home, 2229 Two Notch Road: 15 March 2014 3 comments
I need to go back and get come better pictures, but the Manigault-Hurley Funeral Home closed down in mid March. This funeral home had been a fixture in Columbia since 1923, and provided respite for grieving families in Columbia's Black community starting in the Jim Crow era when other places would have turned them away. 91 years is a pretty good run by any standard! The State says the home's historic record books will be donated to USC's South Caroliniana Library.

I heard through the grapevine that Manigault-Hurley Funeral Home will be closing it's doors soon. Might want to watch for that in the news. It was founded in 1923.
