There are two funeral homes in Hinton that I can think of at this time. Pivot is across the street from the courthouse. The other is Ronald Meadows Funeral Home. It is on Temple Street. I do believe the Meadows Funeral Home was there in the early 1900's. It was a funeral parlor and furniture store.
