Services
The Thomas Poteet & Son facility occupies eight acres at 214 Davis Road, converted from the former West Augusta Baptist Church. The main 15,000 square foot building underwent renovation in 2002, followed by a 6,000 square foot expansion in November 2006 that added the garden lobby. The space is intentionally designed to feel residential rather than institutional, with four themed viewing rooms and a chapel seating 220 guests.
The funeral home emphasizes individualized service designed to meet each family's specific needs, from traditional visitations to non-traditional funeral celebrations.
Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors traces its roots to 1934, when Henry W. Poteet and his wife Annabell began serving Augusta families from a partnership on Greene Street. The business evolved through several names and locations over six decades, growing to three funeral homes under family management.
In 1992, the Poteet family sold the business to the Loewen Group of Canada but remained as managers. Following the deaths of Annabell and son Howard, Tommy Poteet and his son Buzz left in 2001 to establish an independent operation free from corporate ownership. They purchased an eight-acre property with a former church building at 214 Davis Road.
After eight months of renovation, Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors opened in June 2002 as the family's sole location. The facility was designed to avoid what they describe as the typical "funeral home" atmosphere, with decor intended to make guests feel at home.

I don’t even have the words to fully express what Luke did for my family during my dad’s passing. In a time when our hearts were broken and everything felt overwhelming, Luke stepped in with so much compassion, patience, and genuine care. He didn’t just do his job — he guided us,...
I just want to thank everyone here for being such a wonderful help and caring for us like we were family and being kind. Losing a loved one is never easy but Mr. Buzz helped us out and was there throughout this difficult process along with the amazing staff! I will NEVER forget y...
Sadly we have had to use them 3 times. That being said they were remarkable to work with. 2x they had to do a pick up from our home. From being on the phone with them, who they send to your home, in person office people, and everyone else treated us all with kindness, compassion,...
Thomas Poteet & Sons handled both of my parent's funerals. My mom passed away in 2010 and my dad a little over a week ago. Everyone that we dealt with then and now has been caring and professional. Mike handled my mom's funeral and was the funeral director again for my dad. He ke...
