Heritage Funeral Home and Crematory - Fort Oglethorpe

Located in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, Heritage Funeral Home and Crematory was established in 1997 by Russell Friberg and Mrs. Thelma Ross Lane. With the aim to serve the North Georgia and Chattanooga community, Heritage Funeral Home has become a trusted name in the funeral industry.

The humble beginnings of Fort Oglethorpe's Battlefield Parkway set the backdrop for the founding of our funeral home. In those early days, the majority of establishments were yet to emerge, and the area was predominantly pastureland. Recognizing the need for a funeral home to cater to the growing community, Russell Friberg and Ross & Thelma Lane undertook the noble endeavor. Their deep-rooted connection with the community, spanning four decades, paved the way for a warm and welcoming reception.

Over the years, Heritage Funeral Home has been awarded first place in the prestigious Chattanooga Times Free Press, Best of the Best North Georgia contest, for 10 consecutive years. This recognition as the finest funeral home in North Georgia speaks volumes about the quality of service we offer. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have shown their support and trust in us through the years.
