Alert issued on Seneca funeral home closure

The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs is making consumers aware of the close of Keowee Funeral Services in Seneca.  Consumers who signed pre-need funeral contracts with either Keowee Funeral Services or the former Brown-Oglesby Funeral Home should expect a representative from the SCDCA to reach out in the next few weeks to assist in transferring any contract to another licensed provider.  Consumers also may contact another licensed funeral home and transfer a contract without waiting to be contacted.  That funeral home should contact the state agency.  Many of the area funeral homes are aware of the situation and are willing to help.  The DCA keeps a list of licensed funeral homes that consumers can use to transfer their contract. You can visit Licensee Lookup (https://www.consumer.sc.gov/licensee-lookup)

Webpage to look through licensed providers.  If you or a loved one are unsure if they have a pre-need contract with Keowee Funeral Services, SCDCA has the pre-need records.  To inquire about contracts, you can call 803/734-4226.
