Services
The 1617 Market St location anchors Andrews' three-location network. The firm operates two additional chapels: Valley Chapel (opened 1987 at 4108 S College Rd, serving southern New Hanover County) and Hampstead Chapel (opened 1995 on Highway 17 N). All locations are wheelchair accessible. The Hampstead facility sits adjacent to Sea Lawn Memorial Park, a company-owned cemetery providing burial, entombment, and inurnment options.
Andrews emphasizes personalized service coordination, with staff handling listening, suggestion, arrangement, and ceremony coordination.
Andrews Mortuary traces its origins to 1850, beginning as Woolvin Undertakers before evolving into its present form. Now in its third and fourth generation of Andrews family leadership under J. Scot Andrews and Jay Scot Andrews Jr., the firm remains one of the few locally operated funeral homes in a market increasingly dominated by corporate chains. The Market Street Chapel at 1617 Market St serves as the flagship location in downtown Wilmington.
The funeral home holds distinction as the first in Wilmington to operate its own crematory, adding cremation services in 1982. This vertical integration allows families to avoid third-party transfers. Andrews maintains membership in Selected Independent Funeral Homes, an invitation-only organization that audits member firms for service quality and professional standards.
