About Us

Overlooking Herndon’s original Town Green, Adams-Green Funeral Home holds a prominent place in Herndon’s history. Thomas Edgar Reed founded the town’s first funeral home in 1885. His son, Ed Reed, took over the business operations in 1919 and built the current building in 1920. J. Berkeley Green bought the business in 1954 and expanded the building to include a chapel and a full second floor. The current owners are updating and expanding the building, focusing on enhancing the charm and home like atmosphere of the property that has existed throughout the years.

Among the property’s distinctive attributes are its front porch, a formal chapel capable of seating 125 people, modern audio and video equipment for displaying slide shows and many historic photographs of the surrounding community.
