About
Barker Funeral Home, located at 857 Hwy. 62 W in Salem, Arkansas, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral service in Fulton County and the surrounding areas since its founding in 1993. Established by Steven C. Barker, the funeral home began with a vision to provide personalized, dignified, and respectful care to families during their most difficult times. The journey started in 1992 when Barker identified a location for his new venture: a former skating rink that was purchased and thoroughly renovated to meet the needs of a modern funeral home. On January 13, 1993, Barker Funeral Home officially opened its doors, and it has since served families not only in Salem but also across several counties in Arkansas and Missouri.

The building is handicap accessible, welcoming all who come to pay their respects.
In addition to immediate funeral needs, Barker Funeral Home offers planning ahead services, allowing individuals to pre-arrange their own funeral to relieve future burden on family members. The home also provides a variety of grief support resources, including a 365-day grief support email program designed to offer hope and healing during the first year after a loss, as well as weekly grief messages. Families can also send flowers directly through the funeral home's website. The website hosts current obituaries, and visitors can subscribe to receive email notifications when new obituaries are posted.
