Our funeral home has been family-owned and operated for over 90 years. Clair S. Bartholomew built his funeral home from the ground up based on an idea that one man can make a difference. His philosophy centered on providing families with a sense of honesty, trust, and service throughout the most difficult time of their lives. As the funeral home grew in prosperity, the Bartholomew’s saw the need to expand their facility in size, and a new chapel was added on. In 1968, William J. Althenn was hired as a full-time licensed funeral director.

  Eventually Mr. Bartholomew retired and handed down the funeral home and it’s traditions to his son, Clair J. Bartholomew. After
a short time, Clair J. decided that it would be in the best interest
of the funeral home and the families they served to sell it to one
of his most trusted employees. In 1975, William J. Althenn acquired the establishment from Clair J. Following in the footsteps of the Bartholomew’s, Bill continued to provide unprecedented service and compassion to the families he served. After many years of helping out around the facility, Bill’s son Todd, came on board as a licensed funeral director in 1986.


Today, Clair S. Bartholomew & Son, Inc. stands as a pillar of service in Bellmore and the surrounding communities. Our staff is duly trained and qualified to provide the families we serve with outstanding dedication and service. If we only succeed in one aspect of this business, we hope that it is in easing the burden of the death of a loved one.
