In 1954, Alfonso Dawson and his wife Elizabeth Latimer Dawson opened their first funeral home in Warrenton, Ga. The second Dawson mortuary opened in 1961 in the neighboring town of Thomson.
Their success in those two towns lead them to the city of Atlanta and Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc., opened its door for service at 3000 Gordon Road (presently 3000 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.) in December 1965.
Dawson Mortuary is a full-service funeral home offering traditional, creative and cremation ceremonies to all religions and nationalities. A Spanish-language interpreter is available upon request.
