Our Story

Our Founder

Robert (Bob) Barham worked for O. C. Barham, his father, at the O.C. Barham Funeral Home for over 20 years, even after it was sold in 1997 until February of 2008. After much prayer and consideration, Bob and his wife, Sharon, decided to build and open Robert Barham Family Funeral Home in the spring of 2008 working from a temporary location until our current building was finished. Upon completion, our new facility has been highly received as one of the most modern funeral homes in East Mississippi, having a comforting home-like atmosphere. Bob, Bill, and Bruce continue to serve families on a daily basis at our new location. Bob, Sharon, Bill, Bruce, and the entire funeral home staff, continue the legacy of unmatched service set forth by O.C. and Ruth Barham from our beginning in 1985. For over 30 years, caring for others has been much more than just a job; it is our way of life.
