“My family and I had my mother’s funeral two days ago at a church of our choice and used the services of this funeral home to dress my mother’s body and transport her to the church. They made my deceased mother look beautiful. They used a nice hearse to carry my mother’s body to the church and then to the cemetery. I could not pass up the opportunity to leave a review of Barney McClanahan funeral home, as my family received superb customer service skills. During this most difficult time, it was a pleasure to work with such professional and caring individuals. Lawrence (funeral director) and his staff were so patient with my family and with every change we requested. They treated my family and I with respect. Lawrence, Arianne, and the rest of the staff ushered the whole process, where it went smoothly..I highly recommend them, as we were extremely satisfied with their care of our family.”

The funeral director usually makes the request and will need the veteran's DD214 or other discharge papers.
