Funeral Homes in Clarksburg & Bridgeport, West Virginia

The most important fact about the Clarksburg market: Davis Funeral Home operates the ONLY crematory in Harrison County. If you choose cremation through ANY other Harrison County funeral home, your loved one will be transported to Davis's facility (or out of county) for the actual cremation. This means going directly to Davis for cremation eliminates the middleman and potentially saves money. Their modern 14,480 sq ft facility (opened 2000, expanded 2012) includes double family lounges and a reception center. They also operate All Pets Cremation and Funeral Center from the same campus.

A COMPLETELY SEPARATE business from Davis Funeral Home above — different owners, different address, different operation. Located in the historic Despard Mansion on 'Quality Hill' since 1945, Davis-Weaver has become synonymous with 'thoughtful, dignified, and affordable funeral services.' Their emphasis on affordability makes them worth a call for comparison. The historic mansion setting provides a distinctive and elegant backdrop for services that newer facilities can't match.

One of the largest funeral service providers in north-central West Virginia. The Carvelli name reflects Clarksburg's deep Italian-American heritage — and the obituaries flowing through this funeral home (names like Oliverio, Terango, Toquinto, Shabosky) tell the story of a community with strong Italian roots. Amos Carvelli has grown rapidly since 2009 to become a major player in the Harrison County market. For families with large extended-family gatherings — common in Clarksburg's Italian-American community — Carvelli's capacity is a practical advantage.

The most innovative funeral home in Harrison County — and arguably in all of north-central WV. Burnside offers services that most WV funeral homes don't even know exist: alkaline hydrolysis (water cremation, legalized in WV 2022), green burial with biodegradable caskets, green cremation, and a certified celebrant who creates personalized secular ceremonies. Founded in 1997 by longtime Bridgeport businessmen Arnett and Scott Burnside with the mission of 'building a new tradition.' If you want something beyond the traditional funeral, Burnside is the first — and possibly only — call you need to make in this market.

Established independent provider in Clarksburg. In a market with two 'Davis' funeral homes, an Italian-heritage specialist (Carvelli), and an innovation leader (Burnside), Perine offers a straightforward traditional option. Worth including in your comparison calls — especially if you want a simpler, no-frills approach.

The second crematory option for Harrison County families — located 15 minutes north in Shinnston. If Davis Funeral Home's cremation pricing doesn't work for you, Dorsey provides an alternative without leaving the area. They also offer pet cremation services. For families in the northern part of Harrison County (Shinnston, Lumberport, Worthington), Dorsey may be more convenient than driving to Clarksburg.

The name says it all. Located in Nutter Fort (adjacent to Clarksburg), this provider targets families whose primary concern is cost. Their quote sets the price floor for the Harrison County market. Even if you don't choose them, knowing their price gives you a benchmark for negotiating with other providers.
