History
Established in 1998.
We opened our doors in December of 1998 and since that time we have had the distinct honor of serving the families of Plainview in their most grievous and difficult hours. My experience in the funeral industry dates back to my apprenticeship at Harding Orr and McDaniel Funeral Homes in El Paso, conducting funerals for various religions including Catholic, Jewish, Mormon, Chinese, Buddhist and Protestant. Other funeral services included military services for one star and three star generals. I continued my funeral service working with my father, Bob Bartley, at Franklin-Bartley Funeral Home. My father was well known and respected in the funeral industry. He served as president of the Texas Funeral Directors Association in 1988 and was known for his fairness, sincerity and honesty by all who knew him I have tried to carry on those same principles of fairness, honesty, and sincerity in dealing with the families who allow us to serve them in their time of sorrow.
