"Dignity without Compromise"
History
|
Ward Funeral Home, 1930
Buchanan Funeral Home, 1939
|
In November 1936, Mr. James Daniel Buchanan bought the Ward Funeral Home in Okmulgee, Oklahoma and established the Buchanan Funeral Home. Mr. Buchanan operated the funeral home until his retirement in 1973, when James McClendon, Jr. began operating the funeral home. The funeral home was later called the Buchanan-McClendon Funeral Home, and in 1975 Carnie Wise joined the funeral home, and it was renamed the Buchanan-Wise-McClendon Funeral Home. In 1994 the funeral home purchased the Spivey Funeral Home of Beggs (formerly the Bryant Funeral Home) to be able to serve the residents of northern Okmulgee County. In the spring of 2001, we dedicated a new, modern facility in Beggs. In 1999 we also dedicated a facility in the Historic Library Building in Morris, creating a place for the residents of the Morris area to call their own. In 1997 Jason Winters joined Jim McClendon, creating the McClendon-Winters Funeral Home. Together they serve the families of Okmulgee County, providing the service and facilities that families have come to expect since 1936. |
