History
We have been serving our area families for years. It is an honor to be a part of the rich history of this community, and we plan to be a part of it for many years to come.
Our history
The Parks family began its work in the Hardware and Undertaking Company in 1913 in Dustin and Prague, Oklahoma. In 1946 the second generation of the Parks family continued on in both the hardware and funeral business in Okemah, Oklahoma, to serve all of the surrounding areas.
Now, the third and fourth generations of our family are continuing the tradition of honesty and professional service to all of the clients we serve.
We honor all faiths, honor all families, all customs, or beliefs.
We respect the financial limitations you may be under, and are deeply committed to providing each of our families with honest, compassionate, and professional service.
