The Claude J. Edney Funeral, Inc. Home was founded in 1952 by Claude J. Edney Sr., in Darby Township, PA. The Claude J. Edney Funeral Home Inc. is an historical landmark in Darby Township Delaware County Pennsylvania. In the 1950's African Americans were finding it difficult to provide funeral and burial services from Caucasian-American funeral homes and cemeteries in the area. The essential task of honoring loved ones in the African American community was upheld by Claude J. Edney, Sr. and his family. This legacy of excellence still holds true to this day by his son and family Claude J. Edney, Jr.
