About Us

~Our Story~

For over 80 years, Miller-Rivers-Caulder Funeral Home has served the families of Chesterfield County and the surrounding areas with compassion and dignity. Our staff is committed to continuing the legacy of professional funeral service that began with our founders by performing the duties of our sacred profession with care and understanding during your time of need. The history of Miller-Rivers-Caulder Funeral Home began in 1942 when Rudolph J. Hursey established the Hursey Funeral Home on Main Street in Chesterfield at the present site of the Chesterfield County Courthouse. Following Mr. Hursey’s death in 1959, Tom B. Miller, an employee of Hursey Funeral Home since 1945, partnered with A. Don Rivers, a former employee of Redfearn Funeral Home, to establish Miller-Rivers Funeral Home. In 1963, Miller- Rivers Funeral Home purchased the Robert E. (Bob) Rivers Sr. homeplace, and the funeral home moved to its current location: 318 East Main Street, Chesterfield, SC. On June 30, 1988, Mr. Miller and Mr. Rivers retired, and the funeral home was purchased by Phillip C. Caulder Jr., an employee of the funeral home since 1971, and his wife Yetive Watson Caulder. Upon purchasing the business, the couple added their name to the business, establishing Miller-Rivers-Caulder Funeral Home. The Caulders continued their dedicated service to the funeral home ministry for twenty-eight years.On July 1, 2016, the funeral home was purchased by its current owners, W. Brent Taylor and his wife Brooke Everett Taylor. Brent joined the Miller-Rivers- Caulder family in 2004 as a licensed funeral director and embalmer. Brooke has been employed with the funeral home since 2014, working in the office and using her God-given talent on the piano comforting families through music. Brent feels very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Phillip and Yetive Caulder and to call Chesterfield County home. The Taylors have been surrounded by a wonderful and caring staff who shares their vision of treating funeral service as a sacred ministry while serving families with compassion and professionalism during their most difficult times.
