About Us

Our staff is here to provide you with excellent care and service during your time of loss. Get to know the people who will help you through the planning process.

Great Reputation

We believe that our most valuable asset cannot be seen or touched: the goodwill of people we have served and people who recommend us.

Family Owned

We are one of the few remaining family-owned and -operated funeral homes serving Clay and surrounding counties. Unlike the large out-of-state chains that exist in the area, who sometimes confuse the public by having the original family name in ads, we put your needs first. Chains tend to serve stockholders and investors first. In a climate of world-wide corporate mergers, it is comforting to know that our family will be here for you when your family’s greatest time of need arises.

Personal Service

We encourage people to visit our facilities, meet our staff, and compare. We emphasize personal service where the same funeral director follows through from the arrangement conference to the funeral services. We comfortably carry out services for all religious denominations and cultural beliefs.

We meet the federal standards necessary to provide services to members of all branches of the military.

Dedicated Staff

You will find that our staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and low-key. We sincerely care about the people we serve and in doing things right. Our service to you continues in the months beyond the funeral. We also offer a complete preplanning service, which locks in the cost and provides the peace of mind that the plans you make today will make things so much easier for your survivors.

Our staff associates are involved in the betterment of our community by being active in their churches, schools, charitable causes, and community boards.

Memorial Videos

Memories fade over time... what will become of the rich legacy of a life well lived? Each one of us has a picture of the ones we love. The memories when each picture that was taken should not be lost. Pictures link past, present, and future. Passing down such photos is a great way to keep family memories alive, creating a lasting legacy that will be enjoyed for generations to come.

It's easy to forget the laughter at family reunions, the kind gestures, the humorous little anecdotes, and the personal struggles and hardships that shape the character of those we cherish. Memorials create the bridge to the past... they hold families together. Children and grandchildren may be too young or too busy to listen right now. Yet one day they will be interested; they will want to know their heritage and how that has influenced them.

That's why we offer memorial videos for the families we serve. Preserve the memories you know.... capture them forever as a cherished gift.

Unique Personalization

At Broadus-Raines Funeral Home, we know that every family we serve is unique, and we strive to make each memorial service a personal tribute to the life that has been lived. We provide a wide variety of choices that will help fulfill a family's wishes, from the traditional to a personalized service that celebrates a loved one's hobbies and interests.

The following are ideas that you may use to personalize a funeral or memorial service:

• Caskets with custom corner designs and lid panels for personalization including veterans, gardening, fishing, grandmothers, and more
• Urns with custom engraving
• Keepsake urns and jewelry
• Remembrance videos - we create a DVD using your photos
• Displays of personal memorabilia
• Service folders and registry books that reflect personal style and interests
• Special customs particular to different faiths, ethnic groups, and fraternal organizations

Our funeral directors are committed to helping you create a special tribute to your loved one that will honor a life well-lived. We encourage you to share your ideas, customs, and wishes with us.

Whether you desire cremation or burial, we offer a full range of options. We have simplified your selection process by creating burial and cremation packages to suit most.
