History
Garrett Family Funeral Home & Cremation Service has been serving Checotah area families for years. We are honored to be a part of the rich history of this community and plan to be a part of it for many years to come.
The roots of Garrett Family Funeral Home and Cremation Service reach back to Oklahoma Statehood. It is the oldest funeral home in McIntosh County, evolving as part of Koch and Thompson Hardware and Undertakers on Gentry Ave in 1908. The Smith family purchased the funeral home in 1954 and they continued to serve the families of McIntosh County until 2006 when John and Kim Garrett purchased the business. John's family heritage in Checotah dates back over 60 years when his great-grandparents, E.E. and Ethyl Garrett, who were hard working farmers settled in Checotah.
We offer many options for funeral services and cremations, and believe that NO funeral should be the same. Our goal is to arrange the funeral service that reflects the life your loved one.
We believe that pre-planning and pre-paying for your funeral service is nothing but an act of love. We specialize in pre-arranging and offer many ways of pre-paying. John and Kim are licensed Insurance Agents and are able to transfer your existing pre-paid funeral plan from ANY funeral home to Garrett's at NO cost to you.
