History

Located in Grand Blanc, Michigan, Brown Funeral Home has created thoughtful funeral and cremation services for families in Genesee County.

Starting a legacy

In 1939, Russel F. Brown founded Brown Funeral Home on the corner of Davison Road and Iowa Avenue in Flint, Michigan. Its simple 2-story location grew to become among the largest funeral homes in Genesee County.

Growing with our community

In 1997, we built a funeral home on East Hill Road in Grand Blanc. This location incorporates a modern design with viewing rooms, a spacious chapel, hospitality room and offices that are all located on one level for the convenience of our guests. As Genesee County has changed over the years, we have evolved as well to better serve area families. In 2007, we moved Brown Funeral Home into a centralized location in Grand Blanc.

We've proven over the last 80 years that we remain dedicated to growing with our community and providing the compassion families need during an emotional and difficult experience. It's our honor to serve Genesee County, and we hope to continue our tradition of care.
