The first crematory in Dare County history has begun operations at a new facility in East Lake on the Dare County mainland. CAPITAL CREMATORY a subsidiary of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. of Nags Head is the first business of its kind in county history and will provide convenient crematory service to the funeral homes of the immediate area and eastern North Carolina. The crematory will feature a US manufactured, state-of-the art, fully automated, propane-powered retort with an in-house morgue, and business office. The crematory will add 6 high skill, high-tech jobs to the local economy and will operate on-demand for area funeral service professionals.

State-wide and nationally, cremation demand is projected to rise dramatically as part of sweeping trend that favors the affordability, convenience, and environmental advantages of cremation over traditional casket burial. By 2025, the Cremation Association of North America (CANA) predicts the national cremation rate to exceed 50 percent. Currently, the cremation rate in North Carolina is over 30 percent and the Dare-Currituck cremation rate is nearing 50 percent.

The demand for local cremation services are overdue and growing quickly stated Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. president and founder, Courtney N. Gallop.

Any county with a local crematory facility is at a distinct infrastructure advantage over communities with no such services readily available.

Gallop explained that funeral homes with convenient access to a crematory are better able to control prices and keep cremation affordable for the families they serve. Capital Crematory will be the newest and most modern facility in eastern North Carolina and we are extremely excited to bring the technology to Dare County which is know for being on the vanguard of issues affecting its citizens, said Gallop.

The new crematory and its operators will be under regulatory oversight from the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service in Raleigh which is responsible for establishing and enforcing rules and regulations for crematories, funeral homes, and funeral directors. Gallop adds that construction of the facility was permitted with a standard building permit working with General Contractor Ben Andrews who insisted on using mostly local contractors and laborers whenever possible.

OUR HISTORY

The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.
