In extreme sorrow, the staff of Majestic Funeral Homes are embracing the tender hearts of the family of Mr. George Washington Bryant. Mr. Bryant received his angelic wings on Wednesday morning, March 9, 2022 at his residence surrounded by his family.  

Moments have been etched in time for family and friends to pay homage to Mr. Bryant, as he rests in tranquil repose in the main chapel at Majestic Funeral Home in Riegelwood, NC on Monday, March 14, 2022 from 5pm until 7pm. Commencing at 1pm on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 a Service of Remembrance will take place on the grounds of New Miracle Holiness Church in Riegelwood, NC. Immediately following the farewell celebration, Mr. Bryant’s physical vessel and his cherished family will be escorted to the Bryant Family Cemetery in Riegelwood, NC for Committal Rites. As difficult as this is for Mr. George loved ones to endure this tremendous loss, consolation comes knowing that God promised to be closer than a father, grandfather,brother or friend when each of them are no longer with us. If God said it, then that settles it and He will fulfill His promises for this precious family, being anything they need just when they need it the most.
