Meet Liberty: President and Funeral Director Brad Holtzclaw has been part of our family’s mission since he was seven years old. As a third-generation funeral director, he learned from his father and grandfather the profound importance of compassionate, personal service.

Beyond his work at the funeral home, Brad is a dedicated member of the Liberty Lions Club, Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, and industry associations. He is supported by his wife, Kayla.

We are proud to have Brad’s compassionate leadership guiding every family we serve.
