Our History Bolton Funeral Home’s history began in 1950 when Mr. & Mrs. Robert N. (Doris) Bolton, Sr. purchased Walton Funeral Home from Mr. Homer Walton, his former employer, who had owned the funeral home for many years. As was the case for many funeral homes in the early 1900s, Walton Funeral Home was adjacent to Walton’s Mercantile Store, where current day Main Street Florist and Scavangers (a local antique and gift shop) are located. The funeral home was located in the building that now houses the City Pool Hall. Mr. Walton bought the Lightcap House, a local dentist office, and converted it into the first freestanding funeral home facility in Columbiana. It was located about one block from the original location behind the old Shelby County Courthouse, which is now the Shelby County Museum. Mr. & Mrs. Bolton were very involved in the community. Mr. Bolton served many years as Little League coach, Mayor of Columbiana, and Shelby County Coroner. They donated land to the city for the development of a Little League Baseball field, which was named Bolton Field. The field is still used today by the girls’ softball league. Robert N. “Rob” Bolton, Jr. grew up in and around the funeral home and often refers to the “Hey Boy Days” when his father would say, “Hey Boy, come help” with this or that. In 1972, Rob joined his parents in the full time operation of the business. In 1978, Mr. Bolton turned over the management duties to his son. In 1991, Mr. & Mrs. Bolton sold the business to Jeff Gamble due to Mr. Bolton’s failing health. Robert N. Bolton, Jr. remained to manage the funeral home for Jeff Gamble as well. In 1993 Mr. Gamble sold the business to Prime Succession, Inc due to health reasons. In 2004, Letlow-Bolton, Inc purchased the funeral home and some nearby cemeteries (Pinelawn Gardens adjacent to funeral home, Shelby Memory in Calera, AL and Greenhill Memorial Gardens in Childersburg, AL) from Prime Succession. On April 27, 2009 Bolton-Letlow Funeral Home was acquired by Columbiana Enterprises, LLC to continue the tradition set out by Mr.& Mrs. Robert (Doris) Bolton, Sr., with the name returning to Bolton Funeral Home. In May 2016, Bolton Funeral Home was repurchased by Jeff Gamble and continues to be dedicated to this community and the surrounding area. We strive to help every family in need when a loss is experienced.

My name is Scott Lett, most know me by Scotty. I was born and raised here in Birmingham, Alabama and grew up in Cahaba Heights. I went to Vestavia Hills High School where I received a baseball scholarship to a two year community college. I then finished up my undergrad at UAB with a degree in Business Administration and soon started working for a local ministry. In 2014, I started a new career with Alabama Power where I decided to further my education, and went back to UAB to pursue a master's in engineering. As I was half way through the program, I was challenged to start a low risk business for a class project, which was a handyman business. However, most of my calls were for power washing and other exterior cleaning services. This soon led me to start Iron City Power Washing mid year of 2018, and in 2019, I decided to partner up with Tyler Peppers who is now my business partner.
I have a beautiful wife of 5 years named Jennifer, a 2 year old little girl named Lauren Avery, a studly son named Levi Scott, and a cocker spaniel named Reese. We currently live in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. I chose the entrepreneurial life to obviously provide a great life for my family, but also to have the freedom of being home with my family, being a provider is important, but being a husband and father is more important. We are a family who loves Jesus and try our very best to honor, and we currently attend Valleydale Church.
My hobbies included: hunting, fishing, weight lifting, and college football. Roll Tide Roll!
