Chris Hamiel, VP of Operations, Rollings and Pinnacle Funeral Service, Waynesville, NC

“Being part of the SCCFA has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I truly value the collaboration and camaraderie among professionals who share the same passion for serving families in death care. Every meeting and event brings new perspectives and ideas that help me strengthen our operations and better serve our communities. I also appreciate the opportunity to connect with our vendor partners—many of whom bring forward innovative solutions that directly enhance how we do business. One of my favorite aspects of the SCCFA is seeing others succeed—especially when members earn scholarships and grants that support their growth and education. It’s a reminder that this association doesn’t just connect us; it invests in our collective future.”
