H.T. May & Son Funeral Home

The funeral business that became H.T. May and Sons was founded in Boonville in 1911 by Riley Martin, great-great uncle of Tom May. Following the death of Riley Martin, his nephew, Holwell J. May took over the reins of the business and continued to operate it until his death in 1974, when at that time, his son H.T. May began to run the business. When H.T. died in 2005, his son Thomas E. May began to run the business and is now the fourth generation to operate May Funeral Homes. Holwell May is apart of the fifth generation and the May family welcomes the sixth generation of the family Nia Rose May to the world born on October 2, 2013 and Gwendolyn Norene May born on February 16, 2015.
