McDonald
Funeral Home's reputation for fine service began 80 years ago
when Claiborne McDonald started a funeral service and
furniture store on West Canal Street in 1917. Shortly
afterward, our founder devoted himself to the funeral
profession full-time at a new location at Rester Street and
Williams Avenue. Our firm has only changed locations once
since its establishment at Rester Street and Williams Avenue.
We moved to our present home at 401 West Canal Street in 1963.
Sons Tom and Claiborne McDonald III took over the funeral home
upon our founder's death. Tom stayed with the firm up until
retirement in the mid-1970's, and Claiborne operated the
funeral home until his death in 1979.
The funeral home is now owned by Edith McDonald, wife of
Claiborne McDonald III, and their sons, Claiborne McDonald IV
and Stephen L. McDonald. Stephen marks the third generation of
the McDonald family to operate the funeral home.
