History
Buchanan Funeral Home has been serving Barry, Lawrence & surrounding communities since 1950. We are honored to be a part of the rich history of the community and plan to be a part of it for many years to come.
In 1950 Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Buchanan established Buchanan Funeral Home located at 301 Euclid Avenue in Monett, Missouri, 65708. Then in 1964, Mr. and Mrs. Glennon Holmes assumed ownership and the firm continued to grow. The business was sold in 1980 to Mr. and Mrs. Doug Hobson and Mr. and Mrs. Mike Hemphill.
In October of 2006 Mr. & Mrs. William J. "B.J." Goodwin, owners of the Ozark Funeral Homes, Inc. in McDonald County and the Housh-Goodwin Funeral Home in Sarcoxie, purchased the business from Mike and Glenda Hemphill. In July of 2021, Jeremy and Angi Vanderbol purchased the business from the Goodwin Family. Jeremy has managed the funeral home since 2009 and will continue to take care of families with sincere compassion and professionalism.
We pledge to continue the tradition of trusted service, as we look to the future, providing quality service with compassion and respect. We at Buchanan Funeral Home are a constant source of support and encouragement to the families we serve.
We offer a full range of services, from the most traditional church or chapel service to a simple graveside service, as well as a number of cremation options. Personal attention is given to each family and services are offered at a moderate cost.
