Homer E. Elwood Jr., CFSP
Elwood’s career in funeral service started at the age of 16 when he began working a local funeral home. This set him on a path that led him to attend the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. After graduation, he became a funeral director at Gray Funeral Home, a firm that he and his wife purchased one year ago.
As a first-generation funeral director, Elwood has dedicated himself to not only serving grieving families, but to his chosen profession. He is a dedicated volunteer leader with the South Carolina Funeral Directors Association (SCFDA). He served as secretary/treasurer and chair of SCFDA’s Piedmont Group and went on to serve in every office on SCFDA’s Board of Directors including the 2018-19 President of the association. He also is a past chair of the SCFDA Nominating Committee. On the national level, Elwood has served as a member of NFDA’s Member Resources Work Group, Budget Task Force, Audit Task Force and the Spokesperson Team.
