Shellhouse Funeral Home, Inc., began serving the families of Aiken in the Fall of 1993. The building we are located in was once the location of the Southern Bell Telephone Company. Many changes were made to accommodate Aiken's need for a better choice in funeral service. Beginning in 2003, we acquired Rivers Funeral Home and it became Shellhouse-Rivers Funeral Home, Inc. For the peace of mind of families who choose cremation, Shellhouse - Rivers Crematory offers Aiken's only on-site crematory at our East Pine Log Road location. As a family owned and operated business, we have been able to provide the best service possible to families in times of need.

Shellhouse History
"Since 1993"
Bethany Cemetery was purchased by the Shellhouse family in 2000. The cemetery was founded in 1892 and much of Aiken's history lies in the plots and tombs within the grounds. The state historical commission once wrote on the history of the site, "To walk through Bethany Cemetery is to walk through the history of Aiken."
