Price Funeral Home. I am perhaps the last licensed mortician who actually worked with A.D.Price Jr, having served my internship under him.This funeral home laid to rest many prominent African Americans in these cemeteries. I had the distinct opportunity to talk with many of the funeral directors who served (later interments) in theses hallowed grounds.
