Eleanor, I believe the funeral home was Coker and yes that was Thurmond/Fairview cemetery where he is buried. I sent you photos of his headstone and the funeral home record in a separate e-mail.

Willie D. Carpenter is buried by a son (Alvin E. son of W.D. & F.) at Thurmond Fairview Cemetery. I'll send you these 2 headstone pictures in separate emails. The only funeral record is a note on a page in the Christian Funeral Home records. It has a full date of Aug 9, 1931 and it says Z.B. Bobo (he was funeral director in the town of Rhome) to shave and embalm W.D. Carpenter. Then it says "Hearse to Rhome". I'll send you this snip of the funeral record page in separate email.
