About Us
Butlers’ Funeral Homes & Crematorium. Since 1953
Our rich heritage has defined who we are and what we do today.
Our Heritage
Raleigh Israel Butler Sr. along with his wife Rose Marie Butler, owned and operated Butlers’ Funeral Homes and Crematorium, for 60 years. Raleigh I. Butler Sr. was the longest surviving funeral director and embalmer until his death on August 9, 2013.
Born December 30, 1931, Raleigh was the eldest son of Sir Milo and Lady Caroline Butler. He met and married the former Rose Marie Taylor the same year he began his business, and the two of them were able to build the legacy we know today.
Raleigh Israel Butler Sr. proved to be a leader in the field, keeping abreast of new and innovative ideas and techniques. He introduced pre-arrangement plans, tried his hand at burial insurance, and was the first in The Bahamas to install a crematorium and own the only wholesale funeral supply business.
His distinguished service included training many young Bahamians who today own and operate their own businesses.
We will always be driven by the vision of our founders.
