Thomas H. Hooper, III Home Grantheum F. Johnson
President Qfmcel946 Director/Manager
December 30,1999
To The Winston-Salem Community:
In December of 1997 Hooper Funeral Home located at 1415 E. 14* Street here in the city, underwent a change in
management. I joined the Hooper Funeral Home staff in hopes of insuring that the same ideals upon which this
business was founded were still being perpetuated. Two years later those of us now at Hooper Funeral Home believe
that those ideals are in fact, still present.
Over fifty-three years ago, Mr. Thomas H. Hooper, Jr. established Hooper Funeral Home on the premise of
providing quality, sympathetic, courteous, and professional funeral service. With this premise firmly entrenched,
Mr. Hooper cultivated his operation into one of the most successful funeral businesses in Winston-Salem. Even
though he is no longer available to provide his invaluable guidance, we remain committed to keeping Hooper Funeral
Home, which still remains privately owned, among the leading funeral establishments in this area. Our commitment
is not only to those we serve, but to the entire Winston-Salem community as well. This is evident in several ways.
In 1998 we implemented an annual Memorial Day Observance program, honoring the memory of deceased veterans
for their families. This service is held in conjunction with Piedmont Memorial Gardens, for the Winston-Salem
community.
During the spring of 1999 Hooper Funeral Home hosted a community reception, designed to create a forum for
members of our community to come into our facility and meet those of us currently in place at Hooper's. This was
our effort at creating an opportunity for our neighbors to actually meet us and see first hand who is serving you.
Earlier this year Hooper Funeral Home served as the primary sponsor for the Lost Legacy Series, purchasing a
black art display of luminaries from the past two centuries. This display was erected at Sunrise Towers.
This past November saw Hooper Funeral Home sponsor a family at Thanksgiving by providing grocery items for a
complete Thanksgiving meal. Hooper also provided gift items for a family during Christmas.
Also at Christmas Hooper Funeral Home held a holiday remembrance service for the community. Additionally
Hooper erected a Christmas "memory tree", soliciting Christmas ornaments in memory of loved ones of our
community who have passed on.
We continue to offer funeral pre-planning services so that your loved ones will not have to undergo the burden of
having to arrange your funeral at such as emotional time. Vou can make all of your plans and arrange for insurance
to pay for tomorrow's funeral at today's cost. We also continue to provide group workshops and seminars, providing
information on funeral pre-planning.
As we prepare to move into a new century. Hooper Funeral Home has even more plans designed to better serve you.
In February 2000 we are currently making plans to award scholarships that are consistent with the theme of Black
History. We also have plans for creating and establishing a grief library within our facilities for adults as well as for
children. Again these plans are with the Winston-Salem community in mind.
Be assured that as we move ahead into the new millennium. Hooper Funeral Home will continue to provide the same
degree of serv ice that you have grown to expect. Although we have new management and a relatively new staff, the
basic principle of caring, efficient service will continue. I believe I speak for the entire Hooper Funeral Home staff by
saying our primary function is, quite simply, to serve you.
Grantheum F. Johnson
