History of Bath-Naylor Funeral Home & Crematory
The Bath-Naylor Funeral Home & Crematory of Pittsburg, Weir
and Columbus, KS traces its roots back to 1900. In 1987 the Bath
Funeral Home of Pittsburg (formerly the E. K. Smith Funeral
Home); the Naylor Funeral Home of Weir and the Naylor-Quinn
Funeral Home of Pittsburg (formerly the B. C. Morgan Funeral
Home) merged to form the Bath-Naylor Funeral Homes of
Pittsburg and Weir. The Naylor Funeral Home had a location in
Scammon, Kansas from1924 to 1972 at which time the Weir and
Scammon locations were combined at the Main Street location in
Weir, KS. In 1987 a new building at 522 S. Broadway in Pittsburg
was constructed which is the current home of the Pittsburg firm.
In 1998 a crematory was constructed at the Bath-Naylor Funeral
Home in Weir and the name was changed to the Bath-Naylor
Funeral Home & Crematory of Pittsburg and Weir. Bath-Naylor is
the only funeral home in the immediate four state area that has
its own crematory facility. We do cremations for several area
funeral homes as well as for our own. In 2001 the Bath-Naylor
Funeral Home & Crematory was built on South Highway 69 in
Columbus, KS. With this addition we are able to serve all of
southeast Kansas, as well as parts of Missouri and Oklahoma.
Former funeral directors and owners that are now deceased
include A. W. & Ann Naylor; E. K. Smith; Sim Wesonig; T. W.
“Tom” & Nobie Bath; A. E. “Ned” Naylor; Ed & Frances Quinn and
B. W. “Bob” Bath. In addition Doris Naylor, wife of Ned Naylor,
