ABOUT US

Five Pillars of Excellence at Peaks & Waters Memorial Funeral Care

INTEGRITY

At Peaks & Waters Memorial Funeral Care, you are welcomed into a tradition built on the guiding principle expressed in our enduring motto: “Service of Distinction and Class, with Integrity.” Founded in Durham, North Carolina, by Curtis J. Peaks, our establishment was created to offer you compassion, professionalism, and unwavering respect during life’s most difficult moments.

SERVICE

As our commitment to serve grew, Mr. Peaks partnered with Dr. Christion Waters, a leader who shares the same passion for excellence, innovation, and community care. Dr. Waters not only expanded the vision of our organization, but also introduced our additional funeral brand, Affordable Tarheel State Cremation Services—a statewide cremation brand proudly powered by Peaks & Waters Memorial Funeral Care. This expansion allows you and families across North Carolina to access dignified, affordable cremation services backed by the same integrity and compassion that define our name.

Together, Mr. Peaks and Dr. Waters have guided Peaks & Waters into new and forward-thinking directions, ensuring that when you come to us, you receive the highest standard of service available in Durham and the surrounding areas.

HONESTY

At the heart of our work is a belief that you experience firsthand: the principle of sowing and reaping. The care, love, and commitment we pour into our community come back to us through your trust, your loyalty, and the lasting relationships we are honored to build with families like yours.

EXCELLENCE

As of 2025, when you choose Peaks & Waters, you are choosing a firm dedicated to dignity and detail. Our fleet includes three limousines, two hearses, and a customized utility van, each maintained to the highest standards to ensure that your loved one is honored with excellence.

FAMILY

Most importantly, we want you to feel the heart behind everything we do: we are not just a firm—we are family. “Our family serving your family.” When you walk through our doors, you are met with warmth, understanding, and a team committed to serving you as if you were one of our own.

As an independently family-owned and operated funeral care provider, we are dedicated to supporting our local community by offering meaningful employment and fostering a staff culture grounded in compassion and integrity.

At Peaks & Waters Memorial Funeral Care, our promise is simple: to serve you with distinction, class, and integrity—and to walk with you every step of the way, just as family should.
