Charles H. (Harvey) Harris and Loretta B. Harris have been involved in funeral service in Clarksville, Virginia and surrounding areas since 1956. Charles H. Harris and Loretta Harris established Harris Funeral Home on Market Street in Clarksville, Virginia. In 1959 a new facility was built and the location was moved to 216 4th Street, Clarksville, Virginia. In 1989 a spacious chapel and larger casket selection area was added.
