History

Fred J. Clark was the original name of Clark Funeral Home being started by Fred J. Clark in 1912 in Hawkinsville, GA.  In 1914 the name was changed to Fred J. Clark Furniture and Undertaking.

In 1927, Fred J. Clark, Jr. went to work with his father. After graduating from Cincinnati College of Embalming in 1929, he returned to Hawkinsville and the name of the funeral home changed to Clark Funeral Home.

On December 21, 1939, Open House was held for Clark Funeral Home in the building it occupies today.

In the 1940’s David Clark became a partner with his father and brother, and the three ran the business until Mr. Fred J. Clark’s death.
On June 29, 1969 Open House was held for the building as it is in its present state.
After the death of Fred Clark, Jr. and David Clark, the funeral home was run by Fred J. Clark, III and Charles Young until it was sold to Rollings Funeral Service in 2002.

As in the past, courteous, sympathetic service continues today and will continue into the future.
