OUR STORY



L. Doolin Gorman and Lewis G. Scharpf became partners in 1946 with a commitment
to provide service of distinction to local families with special attention to
detail, while providing the best value in the local market. The groundbreaking
and dedication of their facility at 525 South National took place on February
22, 1947. The funeral home remained there until we moved to our new facility at
1947 East Seminole in 1991. In 1968 Mr. Gorman retired and sold his share to
Bill M. Abbott, who remained active in the business until his retirement in1978.
Mr. Scharpf continued to serve the community until late in his life, retiring in
1994. W. Bruce Howell joined the firm as an apprentice in 1976, became partner
upon Mr. Abbott’s retirement, and then sole owner in late 1978. Mr. Howell
continues to serve as owner and president to this day. The next generation of
Howell family are active in the operation of the funeral home and the affiliated
Monument Shoppe.
