Claybar Funeral Home, Orange TX

Words fall terribly short in conveying our family’s deep appreciation for Claybar Funeral Home. Claybar extended the very highest degree of professionalism, sensitivity, and care as we honored the life of our precious father.

Taylor Barborek served as director for our father’s memorial and did an exquisite job with every detail. She is a master listener, sensitive responder, and intuitive planner. She is detail-oriented and provides strong, smart support for family members during a time when details and support matter more than usual. We were able to feel confident and relaxed as we honored our father because we knew Taylor had it under control. Taylor’s disposition is really custom-made for this career and industry. No doubt she could flourish in any field; however, we are certainly grateful this is the one she chose.

Jayne Covington created beautiful, tender, artistic programs, video, and digital graphics that authentically captured our father’s spirit and inner light. She was ultra responsive and compassionate and is a master of her craft.

A special thank you to Mike Combs, too. He was the first person from Claybar that we encountered after our father’s passing. It was such a relief to see him at the door. He comforted our family and handled our father with tenderness, strength, and dignity.

We are grateful for this world-class service in our home town. Thank you so very much.
