HAYDEN & BUTLER FUNERAL HOME - Key Persons
Louisa Hayden, being pillars in their community, received huge local, statewide and national support for Hayden & Butler, which has made Hayden & Butler a success for its 50 plus years of existence. The vision of the Haydens was for Hayden & Butler not to only operate as a burial business, but as a place of comfort and gathering for members of the community. True to this vision, the Hayden & Butler family prides itself on the fact that Hayden & Butler did and continues to serve as a place of comfort and gathering for its community.
Following the marriage of Abraham and Louisa's only child, Elizabeth Hayden Butler, to a local educator and political activist, Anthony Smith Butler, Anthony joined his in-laws and wife at Hayden & Butler, where Mr. and Mrs. Hayden and Mr. and Mrs. Butler served until their demise. In 1980 in an effort to better serve their community, Mrs. Hayden, the Butlers and their staff worked and relocated the facility for Hayden & Butler to its current location.
Although Abraham and Louisa Hayden and Elizabeth and Anthony Butler are no longer with us in body, the legacy of Hayden & Butler continues with the next generation. With the continued support, dedication and love of the community of West Alabama, East Mississippi and beyond, the desire and dream is to continue what Abraham and Louisa started during those turbulent times in the 1950's for many generations to come as Hayden & Butler continues to be a landmark for its community.
