OUR FACILITIES

Carson McLane Funeral Home

The present location of Carson McLane Funeral Home was built in 1951 from the ground up as a funeral home. Previous locations of the funeral home included a storefront in downtown Valdosta on Central Ave.; the former home of Lowndes W. Shaw on Ashley Street; and the beautiful old Briggs-Dasher home which stood on Patterson Street where Southern Stationary now stands. Over the years, our current location has been remodeled adding new additions several times. Our centralized location on Patterson St. near Park Avenue is convenient to all parts of Valdosta and the surrounding areas.

Martin - McLane Funeral Home

C. Waldo Martin was associated with Carson McLane Funeral Home until he opened Martin Funeral Home in Hahira in 1950. During the years that followed, the Martins and the McLanes maintained a close working relationship and a close personal friendship. In recent years, changes have taken place, which encouraged an even closer association of the two firms. In December of 1986, the two firms merged into one with Mary Grace Martin and Cary Martin becoming stockholders and officers of Carson McLane, Inc., which operates the funeral homes in Valdosta and Hahira. There are numerous benefits to the people of both communities including the better utilization of staff, facilities, equipment, inventories and other resources. In short, we can now give better service for a more reasonable price.

McLane Lakewood Funeral Home

Our newest facility is located on US Highway 41 between Lake Park and Twin Lakes. This allows us to serve the fast growing southern section of Lowndes County, Echols County and the surrounding areas. Our complete staff is available to serve from any one of our locations. The funeral home in Lake Park is located on 25 acres of land, which will allow for future growth of the funeral home.

McLane Riverview Memorial Gardens

Another extension of our services was made when McLane Funeral Services, Inc. purchased Riverview Memorial Gardens. It is another way that we can help the families take care of as many details as possible in a manner that is simpler for them. We offer lots with bronze markers, lots with upright marble or granite monuments, chapel or garden mausoleums, cremation niches and other products and services that might be needed of a cemetery.

The perpetual care cemetery was started around 1955. We have worked to extend the choices and quality of selections since our purchase in 1979. There is adequate land available for at least another 150 years.
