Claybar Funeral Home

Claybar Funeral Home has been a pillar of compassionate service since its founding in 1946 by Ambrose Claybar. After returning from World War II, Lannie Claybar joined the business, and along with his wife Marjorie, helped grow the funeral home into Orange's leading provider of funeral services. Today, the Claybar legacy continues through the third generation, led by Warren Claybar, who took over as president in 2007. Throughout the years, Claybar Funeral Home has expanded, acquiring several funeral homes and cemeteries, and embracing innovation to better serve families.



With a strong focus on modernizing services, Claybar Funeral Home has pioneered advancements like the development of the SimpleTributes.com website, allowing families to make cremation and burial decisions online. In recent years, they have continued to grow, expanding the Claybar Network to include multiple funeral homes, cemeteries, and a crematory, while always maintaining a deep commitment to compassionate care. Looking ahead, Claybar Funeral Home promises to continue evolving, bringing even greater service to Southeast Texas and beyond.
