We've perfected the quiet nod that says everything is handled.
The one that tells a grieving daughter she doesn't have to ask twice. The one that says go be with your family — we've got this.

It's a small thing. But it might be the most important thing we do.

Please join us in welcoming Alex Barber to the Maley Yarbrough team as a Funeral Director!

A resident of Ripley, Tennessee, Alex graduated from Northwest Mississippi Community College in 2017 with a degree in Mortuary Science and brings 13 years of experience serving families throughout West Tennessee. Most recently, she spent four and a half years at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery in Memphis, where she also served as the funeral home’s liaison with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, supporting families facing childhood cancer.

For Alex, funeral service is both a privilege and a responsibility. She is committed to providing each family with compassion, understanding, and genuine care while helping them create meaningful tributes for those they love.

Outside of work, Alex enjoys spending time with family, cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers, reading, being outdoors, and spending time with her three dogs, Marlee, Copper, and Ellie.

Alex is grateful for the opportunity to serve families in Covington and the surrounding communities, and we are so happy to have her as part of the Maley Yarbrough Funeral Home family. Please help us give Alex a warm welcome! ❤️

Join us as we remember Dolly Parton, who passed away today.

Dolly Parton didn’t just make music — she made sure her success reached back to lift others up. That’s a legacy worth remembering.

Her voice touched generations, but so did her generosity. Through her music, philanthropy, and lifelong commitment to helping others, Dolly showed us that a meaningful life is measured not only by what we achieve, but by what we give back.

Long before the service starts,
we're watching forecasts.

Families have enough on their minds. We want them focused on honoring their loved one,
