Description
Clarence Peters began his funeral career in the early 1960’s when he took a part-time job with an ambulance service, which also provided livery vehicles to southern San Joaquin Valley (Golden Valley) funeral homes. Interested in funeral service, he then began serving his apprenticeship with Lloyd’s Chapel in Porterville. Clarence made a life altering decision to dedicate his future to funeral service and in 1967 entered the California Mortuary Science School in Los Angeles. With his training and licensing completed, he ventured out into ownership in 1973. Clarence and Martha Peters purchased Agee Family Funeral Home, 201 Central Valley Highway, Shafter and founded Clarmar Enterprises. Two years later, they purchased Robert L. Jones Funeral Home in Wasco. In 1987 they purchased two of their competitor’s businesses, Mish Funeral Home in Shafter and Mish Funeral Home in Wasco. The businesses were stream-lined into two operations, Peters Funeral Home in Shafter on Lerdo Hwy and Peters Funeral Home in Wasco on Seventh Street. Their five children, Carolyn, Cheryl, Leslie, Franklin and Loren all worked in the family business at one time or another in various capacities. However, their son, Leslie Peters and daughter Cheryl Woody purchased the enterprise in 1994. This was quickly followed by their purchase of J.W. Sams & Son Mortuary in Arvin in 1995. In 2002, Richard D. and Cheryl Woody purchased the operation.

Peters Funeral Home is extremely kind and caring during the worst times in a persons life. They have helped me and my family with final arrangement for over 20 years now and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Kern County area. They consistently have gone above and beyond, including follow ups to offer resources to grieving family members. It takes compassion, empathy and a good heart to comfort those who are suffering a loss and Peters Funeral Home has built a wonderful team of those individuals. I’m grateful I had their assistance and friendship.

My family and I cannot thank the staff at Peters Funeral Home enough. The loss of my mom was incredibly painful and Nicole helped us with such compassion and kindness. She was very patient, explained everything and had great empathy for our family. We are grateful with all of the staff that helped make my moms funeral so orderly, classy, and beautiful. They took care of everything and were on it while we were in pain grieving our mother. I can keep going on and on about how wonderful they were. We totally recommend Peters Funeral Home. We will never forget how amazing they were.

Peters Funeral Home did an excellent job with helping me through the difficult journey I took after my husband past away in October. The caring staff put my mind at easy with the decision and funeral details my family and I had to decide on in the days and weeks after Geno's passing. Thank you Nicole and Bernice for still texting and checking up on me and my family and making sure we are doing okay. This staff is caring and loving and was always there to answer questions or any concerns. Thank you to the Peters Funeral Home staff.

Peter's Funeral Home has always been compassionate and helpful in your time of need. They understand the difficult time the family is going through and take their time with you. We had a wonderful experience during the process with our father. Thank you to all that were there for us.......you helped make a confusing and difficult thing to do much easier. The comfort you give is above and beyond expectations.
