History

Jess and Clara Navarre moved to Baytown from Dayton in 1967 with their three children, Mike, Chris and Judy. In their new hometown, they established Baytown Ambulance Service, which they ran until 1994. In 1984, the family acquired Paul U. Lee Funeral Home, which had served Baytown and the surrounding area since 1923. Jess and Clara had worked in the funeral business in Dayton, and when they purchased the Baytown funeral home, they changed the business name to reflect their own. Today, Navarre Funeral Home & Cremation Services is part of the Dignity Memorial® network. As North America's largest group of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, the Dignity Memorial brand is your assurance of quality, value, caring service and exceptional customer satisfaction.

"Our director was beyond wonderful. A compassionate, hard working individual, that really cares that you understand the process and if you don't understand, don't be afraid to ask. She answered all our questions and made sure we understood. We left the funeral home feeling confident about the service. I thank her so much. We could not have done it without her. Such an asset your company."

"Jack was specific about only Navarre handling his arrangements. He had a great amount of confidence in them. All things considered, the burial arrangement experience was pleasant, easy, professional, including coordinating the out of town burial. I had not idea what to exact at the Mart, Tx Cemetery. Gary travelled with Jack from Baytown and had everything set up perfectly. The family was very pleased with the outcome. The family hung around for about 30 minutes pass the service, but Gary patiently waited until we were done saying our goodbyes. I would recommend Navarre to others."
