Funeral, Cremation, and Cemetery Services in Columbia, Lexington, and Irmo, SC

WELCOME TO

Bush River Funeral Home

At Bush River Funeral Home, we serve families throughout Columbia with the convenience and peace of mind that comes from having funeral, cremation, and cemetery services in one trusted location.


Formerly known as Temples Halloran Funeral Home and Bush River Memorial Gardens, we are proudly returning to the Bush River Funeral Home name – one that reflects our shared history and the way families already experience our services. Bringing our funeral home and memorial gardens together under one unified name creates greater clarity, seamless coordination, and long-term continuity for families throughout Lexington, Irmo, and the greater Columbia communities.


Our core services include traditional funerals, memorial services, cremation options, veteran honors, preplanning, and a full range of cemetery services. By offering these services together, we simplify decisions, reduce stress, and provide exceptional value during a difficult time. Families always have flexibility in how they choose our services. Whether you have burial arrangements at another cemetery or plan to hold services elsewhere, you are welcome to use any of our funeral, cremation, or cemetery services independently.


While our name has evolved, our commitment remains the same. Families continue to rely on our experienced team for compassionate guidance, professional care, and thoughtful support—before a loss occurs and long after services conclude.
