Carlton began his career at a very early age in the funeral home industry.  In August 1965, at the age 12 Carlton began working at Hamilton Funeral Home in Goldsboro as part of the maintenance crew under the leadership of Levi Hamilton Sr, founder and owner.  He continued his faithful service as a maintenance crew member until the age of 16, when his dreams of officially working funerals and driving funeral cars came true.  Carlton continued his dedicated service to the funeral home until he enlisted into the United States Army in 1969.  Carlton served in the United States Army for a period of 3 years and served two tours in the Vietnam War in which he received a Purple Heart for injuries received in combat.  Following his recovery, Carlton was assigned to the US Army mortuary Saigon Vietnam to fulfill his dreams of becoming a licensed embalmer.

Following his tour of duty, Carlton returned to the states and returned to Hamilton Funeral Home.  He then enrolled in Gupton-Jones Mortuary College in Atlanta and received his Funeral Service Degree and became a licensed Funeral Director and Mortician in 1974.  For the past 39 years Carlton has been dedicated to providing the families he has been honored to serve with the upmost care and consideration.  

“It is my upmost desire to ensure every family that we serve at Stevens Funeral Home is served with dignity, honor and integrity."
