As a locally owned and operated company, Clay-Barnet

te Funeral Home is proud to provide everything needed for end-of-life services. Traditional packages include funeral services, memorial services, and direct cremation. Other additional options are available for permanent memorialization, Veteran services, grief resources, vaults, caskets, life celebrations, burials, and more. Not only does the team have an on-site crematory, but they are the first facility with aquamation on the east coast. This on-site aquamation facility is available for both human aquamation and pet aquamation. Why choose these services over traditional cremation or burial? Alkaline hydrolysis uses gentle, flowing water and heat to break down the organic compounds naturally. As a result, it is a better solution for the environment. When aquamation is complete, the remaining bone fragments are ground into ashes, similar to cremation. The family can choose where these ashes should be scattered or stored. Clay-Barnette Funeral Home has several funeral homes to choose from in the area, giving families the highest levels of convenience and care. These facilities offer spacious visitation rooms and chapels, as well as state-of-the-art technology for family conferencing and more. The merchandise selection center offers various products to meet the unique needs of each person.

The book will be available to sign through September 4th, visitors are welcome Monday through Friday 8:00AM to 4:00PM, and Saturday 10:00AM-3:00PM.
