History

In January of 1960, Mr. Pope Weems, owner of the only funeral home in Paulding County, passed away suddenly.  February of the same year Mr. Hubert A. Martin and his wife Betty purchased the firm from Mrs. Mildred Weems.  The funeral home was a former wood framed two story building that had been adapted for use as a funeral home(it was located across the street from the County Courthouse). In 1969 Mr. Martin acquired land at the present location 123 Watson Drive in Dallas and work began the current wood and masonry constructed Funeral Home.  After two years the building was completed and open house was held August of 1971.  Jeff Eberhart started to work there in June of 1975 as an apprentice Embalmer and Funeral Director. Jeff was also a Georgia certified Emergency Medical Technician, Jeff worked both ambulance and Funeral Home aspects of the Funeral Home operations.  In August of 1982 Jeff Eberhart and Sam Clark purchased the Funeral Home from Hubert and Betty Martin.  Less than one year later Jeff purchased Sam Clark’s interest in the firm and the name was changed from Eberhart and Clark Funeral Home to Jeff Eberhart Funeral Home.  Jeff and his wife Debra ran the funeral home as a family business until it was sold to Meridian Mortuary Group July 13, 2000.  Later Keystone Holding Group acquired the funeral home until it was purchased by Rollings Funeral Services (Peachtree City) in November 2007.
