Our mortuary was founded in 1902 by John Gantt, Sr., and known as the Gantt Funeral Home. After Mr. Gantt retired, his sons John, Jr. and Joe ran the funeral home. Gantt Memorial Park was developed in 1954 as a perpetual care cemetery under South Carolina Law. Now known as Liberty Memorial Gardens, it offers in ground and above ground burial.

James. T. Holtzclaw purchased the funeral home January 1, 1984. Shortly thereafter it was renamed Liberty Mortuary. Our family philosophy is that we want our families to call us for the service we provide, regardless of whose name is on the sign. Each of our employees, whether it be a Holtzclaw or not, should be able to provide the same level of service to our families.
