Pre-Need Funeral Arrangements

We've been a part of North Central Texas life for over 135 years. Our heritage began in 1878, in Mexia, a small town in Limestone county. It was John R. Corley, Jr., son and namesake of the founder of the Mexia furniture store turned funeral supply and undertaking service; who purchased the Corsicana property which was to become Corley Funeral Home. Today, as always, Corley Funeral Home is the preferred funeral home of many residents of Navarro and its surrounding counties.

One reason for our popularity has much to do with the stellar reputation of our dedicated pre-need counselor, Dean Barker. Hundreds of people living in North Central Texas can confirm he is a trust-worthy source of information about, and assistance with, pre-need funeral arrangements. Dean can also advise you about available funding options if you're interested in prepaid funeral arrangements. He can also tell you everything you'd need to know about Corley Funeral Home's prepaid cremation plans.

Whether you're ready to make pre-need funeral arrangements or would simply like to speak with Dean in greater detail about funeral pre-planning, we encourage you to pick up your phone and call him at 903-874-3755. Dean will be delighted to shed some light on the process of making pre-need funeral arrangements and explore the many benefits of prepaid funeral arrangements.

A Personal Message from Dean

"I have been in funeral service for many years and can assure you that advance planning is--without a doubt--the most sensible way to make funeral or cremation arrangements. This will save money by locking in the price, but more importantly, it will relieve your family of having to make these decisions during an emotionally difficult time. Here at Corley's, I'm an information provider; and am happy to give you any information you may want or need during your decision-making process. I can be easily reached at 903-874-3755, or by email, at deanbarker@corleyfuneralhome.com. Please let me know how I can help you make you pre-need funeral arrangements."

Secure Prepaid Funeral Arrangements

Corley Funeral Home secures funding for the prepaid funeral arrangements we make through Funeral Directors Life Insurance Company, of Abilene, Texas. Known as the best, most-respected provider of insurance services to the funeral industry, the FDLIC offers many options, including Dollar-for-Dollar plans, for consumers who do not want to bear, or cannot afford, the cost of insurance premiums. Their Graded Whole Life plans offer level death benefit protection with affordable premiums. FDLIC also provides guaranteed and non-guaranteed contract options (in states where allowed) and (where approved) Child/Grandchild supplemental coverage. They are, in our opinion, exactly the type of partner you're looking for when making prepaid funeral arrangements.
