About Us

Founded by John and Betty Eggers, Eggers Funeral Homes opened its first location on January 2, 1996. Construction of the current Boiling Springs facility at 195 Rainbow Lake Road began in the spring of 1999. In July 2000, the funeral home moved into the new 14,000-square-foot facility.


Over the years, Eggers continued to grow, adding a crematory at its Chesnee location in 2006 and completing an extensive renovation and addition in 2011 that doubled the facility’s size. In March 2016, Eggers acquired its third funeral home, the former McKinney-Landreth & Carroll Funeral Home in Cliffside, North Carolina. Following John’s sudden passing on April 16, 2016, Betty continued to lead the business until March 2020.

Tommy and Mary Pacolette Genoble purchased Eggers Funeral Home in March 2020, continuing its tradition of family ownership and personal service. As Upstate natives, they value the relationships and community ties that make serving local families a privilege.


Tommy’s roots in funeral service span three generations. His grandfather founded Holcombe Funeral Home in Union in 1949, and his mother, Gladys Holcombe Genoble, continued that family tradition through her work there. A 1986 graduate of Gupton-Jones College of Mortuary Science in Atlanta, Tommy brings more than 40  years of experience to his work. His family’s legacy shapes his commitment to treating each family with dignity, compassion, and respect.


Mary Pacolette is a licensed funeral director and advance funeral planner with a background in elementary education and high school guidance counseling. She holds a master’s degree from Winthrop University. Her experience as an educator and counselor brings a thoughtful, caring approach to helping families navigate loss and make meaningful arrangements. She also helps individuals plan ahead, easing the burden of future decisions for their loved ones.


Together, Tommy and Mary Pacolette are committed to providing compassionate guidance, honoring each life, and offering services that reflect every family’s wishes, traditions, and values. Their promise is expressed simply: “Our family serving your family.”
