Roger and Don Beaty were raised in and around funeral service by Ray Edwards, a family friend from church, who was a funeral home owner at McCary-Edwards-Cain Funeral Home. It was a business with a rich history that under previous owners and names had served the community since the early 1900's. Ray Edwards took the two brothers under his wing and showed them what it meant to serve others in their time of need.
Mr. Edwards' passion for serving others made such an impression on the two young boys that they grew to love working in the funeral home, and eventually found a true calling in funeral service as a career. Roger and Don Beaty attended the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science and became licensed funeral directors in the early 70s.

When it comes time to care for a deceased loved one, you may feel overwhelmed and confused about the next steps and options. Our funeral home staff members are here and ready to help. Whether you'd like a funeral or a more creative celebration of life, we can assist you to select the funeral service options that hold the most meaning for you and your family.
Obituaries act as quiet reminders of the finite nature of our lives. Yet, for those who have recently experienced the death of a family member or friend, an obituary means so much more. It is a bittersweet reminder of all we've lost, but it can also help us to remember all we enjoyed while they were alive.
G. K. Chesterton wrote, Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die. The men and women who served in the armed forces, whether during a time of war, or one of peace, are living examples of that contradiction. Each should be honored and remembered, so that our gratitude never fades.
All we need to do is say the word "funeral" and within microseconds, you have an image in your mind of what a funeral looks like. This mental image comes from many sources: the geographical place, culture and society in which we live; our faith; our life experience.
Obviously then, a funeral service in Borneo would look very different from one held in Tanzania; there are even significant differences between the funerals held in ethnically and/or geographically diverse regions of North America.Yet, despite the differences, these funeral services have much in common.

A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern (memorial service or celebration-of-life), has two functions: to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual and to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during this difficult time. If you are interested in making funeral arrangements for a loved one, we invite you to call us to begin.

Beaty Funeral Home was very considerate of our needs, even needs we didn’t know to ask about. They guided us each step of the way for the funeral of my husband, with care to have it the way we wanted it. Now I’m working with the After Care Service which is already making things easier. The agent Nikki, is calling places for me, and telling me how to go about other things that need done after the death of a spouse.
