Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home was established in the 1930s when Waddell Northington purchased an undertaking company from Lampasas Furniture Company. Historically, the term "undertaker" came from the concept of one agreeing to undertake the necessary service of caring for the dead.

The business Mr. Northington purchased was located on the east side of the square in Burnet. It was later moved to the present location at 306 East Polk Street where it is today. It was soon after this move that Mr. Northington hired Gene Clements to assist him in the business. During this time, ambulance service was provided by the funeral home. In addition to using a hearse to deliver the deceased to the cemetery or train station, the hearse was also used to transport the sick to local hospitals.

After purchasing the business from Mr. Northington in 1949, Mr. Clements remodeled the building and added the approximate 250-seat chapel that is used today. He continued providing ambulance service in addition to the funeral business. He retired after 20 successful and dedicated years of service.

In 1969 Bill and Janice Wilcox became owners of the funeral home, and the name later became Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home. Around 1980, the city of Burnet took over ambulance service as EMS became more established. Clements-Wilcox Crematory was later established in 1995 to better serve the needs of the community and area. It is located within the grounds of the Post Mountain Cemetery just west of Burnet.

Today, from this same location we offer an established and caring staff ready to serve and meet the needs people during their time of need.
