On December 6, 1979, George W. Sharpley had a vision of opening his own funeral home. His vision became a reality and Sharpley Funeral Home was established with its first location on Sycamore Street N.W. Decatur and stayed there from 1979-1982. Later the business was moved to its present location at 410 Railroad Street N.W. Decatur, Alabama. "GW" wanted to serve the community in which he lived with the motto "WHERE SERVICE IS AN EVERLASTING MEMORY". Sharpley Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home offering flexible and highly personalized services. Our goal is to guide and to assist you in creating the most fitting service for your loved one and to carry on the service that "GW" started.
