Our Valued Staff

Our Valued Staff

Rutledge and Bigham Mortuary was founded eighty-nine years ago upon a tradition of integrity. Since that time, our services have touched the lives of countless Statesville, Iredell County, and surrounding area residents. We hope that our impression is one of sensitive, courteous, professional people serving our community. It is to this end that the owners, funeral directors, and staff of Rutledge and Bigham Mortuary are forever dedicated.
