Claybar Funeral Home, Inc.

Claybar Funeral Home, Inc. has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral care in Southeast Texas since its founding in 1946. Originally established by Ambrose Claybar, who converted a residence in Orange into a funeral home, the business quickly became a trusted resource for families in need. After World War II, Lannie Claybar returned from service and joined his brother, dedicating himself to serving the local community. Today, the third generation, led by Warren Claybar, continues the family legacy with a commitment to dignity, professionalism, and innovation.

The flagship location at 504 N 5th Street in Orange serves as a full-service funeral home, offering comfortable spaces for visitations, services, and receptions. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring that families receive immediate support during difficult times. The facility is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking, and the staff is available to guide families through every step of the process, from the moment a death occurs to planning ahead.

Claybar Funeral Home provides a comprehensive range of services. Traditional funeral services are available for those who choose burial or cremation, emphasizing the importance of honoring the deceased and beginning the healing process. Cremation services include several options, from full-service funerals to private memorial arrangements. The home operates its own state-of-the-art crematory, Haven of Rest Crematory, ensuring that loved ones never leave the family’s care. Veterans services help secure benefits and create meaningful tributes for those who served. Advance planning consultations allow families to specify preferences and lock in current prices, easing future burdens. The home also offers reception facilities, a full-service floral shop (Blooms by Trendz Floral), and maintains beautiful cemetery grounds including Hillcrest Memorial Gardens and Orange Forest Lawn Cemetery.
