First solve the name confusion

Why Leeside Obituaries Now Appear Under Callaham-Hicks & Leeside

Leeside Funeral Home was established in October 2020 by Thomas J. Lee. The current official website explains that on February 10, 2023, Lee acquired Callaham-Hicks Funeral Home and merged the two businesses.

The resulting entity is now identified as Callaham-Hicks & Leeside Funeral Home LLC. That is why a search for an older “Leeside Funeral Home” name leads to a current website carrying both names.

Current official identity Callaham-Hicks & Leeside Funeral Home

Why the search term still works Leeside remains part of the current business name.

The official domain is still leesidefuneralhome.com, while the visible brand now uses Callaham-Hicks & Leeside Funeral Home.

A clearer history timeline

1913 Nina Littlejohn established the John-Nina Hospital at the historic Spartanburg site.
1933 M. S. Callaham purchased the building and founded Callaham Funeral Home there.
2007 A fire destroyed the historic main structure.
2020 Leeside Funeral Home was established by Thomas J. Lee.
2023 Callaham-Hicks and Leeside were merged into the current entity.
Why this history helps an obituary search

Older records may refer to Callaham, Callaham-Hicks or Leeside, while current notices use Callaham-Hicks & Leeside. Searching only one business name can therefore miss context.

Before you leave home

Viewing, Funeral and Interment May Be at Different Places

Current Leeside memorials show why the funeral-home address should not automatically become your destination.

A family may hold a public viewing at 228 North Dean Street, a celebration of life at a church in Spartanburg or Roebuck, and interment at a separate cemetery.

1. Public Viewing Often at the funeral home, but verify the memorial.
2. Church Viewing Some families have an additional viewing before the ceremony.
3. Celebration of Life May occur at the funeral home or a family-selected church.
4. Interment Can be at a cemetery or church burial ground in another community.

Eight things to confirm

Correct person Check the memorial name and dates.
Correct event Viewing and celebration of life are separate events.
Correct day Do not assume every service occurs the same day.
Correct time Current service schedules label times in Eastern Time.
Correct address Use the address beneath the exact event.
Add to Calendar Use the memorial’s calendar button when available.
Directions Open the event-specific directions instead of guessing.
Recheck before travel Open the memorial again for any updated arrangement.
Practical example

Official memorials show families using the Dean Street funeral home for viewing while holding the main service at churches in Spartanburg, Roebuck or Inman and burial at locations such as Heritage Memorial Gardens, Roselawn Memorial Gardens or Lincoln Memorial Gardens.

07

Support the family

Guestbook, Photos, Candles, Flowers and Memorial Trees

Guestbook

The online memorial can let friends and relatives post condolences and memories.

Photos and candles

The current guestbook interface can allow visitors to add photographs and light a virtual candle with their post.

Flowers or memorial tree

Many individual obituary pages provide Send Flowers and Plant a Tree options.

Check the obituary before ordering.

A family may publish a specific memorial preference. Follow the individual family’s instructions rather than assuming flowers are always preferred.

What should you write in the guestbook?

A short personal message is enough. A specific memory, a sentence about what the person meant to you or a simple expression of sympathy is more useful than a long generic paragraph.

08

Two different email tools

Obituary Alerts vs. Grief-Support Emails

New obituary notification

Obituary Mailing List

The funeral home states that subscribers receive an email notification within about an hour after it posts an obituary or death notice.

The service is complimentary, and the mailing-list page states that the address is not shared with third parties.

Open obituary email signup

After a loss

Weekly Grief Messages

This is a different service. The funeral home promotes one year of weekly grief messages intended to provide comfort after a loss.

Use obituary alerts when you are waiting for a new notice; use grief messages when you want ongoing bereavement support.

What the mailing-list link opens

A simple official email form specifically for new obituary and death-notice notifications.

Planning ahead

What Leeside’s Preplanning Process Asks You to Decide

The official preplanning guidance separates making your wishes known from paying for a funeral in advance.

You can document preferences without necessarily pre-funding the arrangements.

Disposition Burial or cremation? Write down the preference before meeting the funeral director.
Ceremony What type of service? Consider funeral, memorial or another personalized ceremony.
Final location Cemetery choice Document an existing plot or preferred cemetery if relevant.
Funding Pre-fund or only document? The official guidance explains that preplanning does not itself require advance payment.
Existing plans can be moved.

The funeral home’s preplanning FAQ says it can assist with transferring arrangements from another funeral home to Callaham-Hicks & Leeside, or transferring a plan elsewhere if a person later moves away.

What the current funeral home offers

Funeral, Cremation, Shipping and Interpreter Support

Traditional & non-traditional services

The official site says families can choose traditional arrangements or alternatives tailored to their preferences.

Cremation services

The funeral home’s FAQ explains that choosing cremation does not prevent a family from also having a funeral or memorial service.

Pre-need arrangements

Families can document future wishes and discuss funding options before an immediate need occurs.

Out-of-state shipping

On-staff interpreter

Personalized memorials

Funeral and memorial service are not the same thing.

The funeral home’s FAQ explains that a funeral generally involves the deceased’s body, while a memorial service can take place without the body and may be scheduled later.
