Folsom Funeral Home and Piedmont Memory Gardens are dedicated to serving the Piedmont community.

Oscar Mickelsen started the funeral home, located at 212 Memorial Drive, in 1957. It was known as Mickelsen-McGee until 2003 at which time it was taken over by J. Bryan Folsom and Clift Dempsey. Folsom Funeral Home has served all families with dignity & Care in the most difficult time of their life.

We treat each family as if they were our own family. One of our largest areas in community service is by assisting our local veterans. Memorial monuments have been designed and erected at the local Veterans Park along with other veteran memorials at local churches. The policy of Folsom Funeral Home and Piedmont Memory Garden is that no veteran shall go without proper burial.

We believe that every veteran is entitled to all governmental as well as local benefits for the price that he or she has paid for the cost of our freedom. Local church pastors are informed as to our policy on indigent deaths.

In the untimely death of an infant or child under three years of age, burial servics through our funeral home are at no cost to a family. We feel that the parents have enough to bear without having to worry about the financial burden of burying their child.

Bryan and Shari Folsom are serving Calhoun County as foster parents. Piedmont Memory Gardens conducts Easter Sunrise services each year. The funeral home and cemetery supports local police, rescue squad and fire departments.

Any officer, EMT, or fireman whose life is claimed in the line of duty will receive, at no cost to their family, a complete professional services package.

Anyone can be updated with funeral obituary information as well as daily scripture verses and community events by calling our information line at 447-9099.

Our business has shown growth over the past four years and hopefully we can continue to provide the families of Piedmont and surrounding communities with a choice in funeral services while being served by a Christian family. We would like to see the day when we could offer another funeral home next to our cemetery on Vigo Drive and also maintain the existing one here on Memorial Drive.

We never say that we are the best; however we like to think of ourselves as unique as well as important in that we offer our own personal selves to our families. We know what it is like to lose a wife, mother, father, son, brother or sister. We know that this a very emotional time and not just a time when someone whom you hardly know starts asking you for money to bury your loved one. We will achieve our best, not in this life, but the next. We feel that our personalized service along with moderate cost, gives us the opportunity to serve many families.

Families can buy caskets or vaults from any place that sells them, even on the Internet. However, nothing can replace the human compassion you receive from people you know and trust. See some of our available caskets Here
