History

James Bradshaw Earthman Sr. was a blacksmith and livery service provider in Taylor, Texas. The town of Taylor purchased a horse-drawn hearse, and as proprietor of the livery stable, James was frequently asked by the townspeople to assist with their funeral needs. Beginning in 1889, providing funeral services became James's full-time profession.

In 1904, James and his friend, railroad surveyor J.C. McCarty, moved to Houston and established the Earthman and McCarty Undertaking Company at 715 Main Street. The company prospered and, in 1924, moved to 2420 Fannin Street. After Mr. McCarty’s death, the company became J.B. Earthman Company.

A pioneering family

After James' death in 1931, his son, James B. "J.B." Earthman Jr., a graduate of St. Thomas High School and Rice University, left his successful architectural career to manage the company. His wife, Blanche Bastien Earthman, assisted with the daily operation of the business and was one of the first women in Texas to become a licensed funeral director.

J.B. was a pioneer in funeral planning, founding a burial insurance company in the 1930s. Together, J.B. and Blanche built Earthman Funeral Directors & Cemeteries into one of the largest family-owned and operated funeral companies in the United States. Their children and grandchildren continued to manage and expand the business, adding new locations throughout the community.

A lasting legacy

James B. Earthman Sr. began with a commitment to a high standard of service, and throughout our history, we’ve continued to lead and innovate while maintaining that standard. Everyone at Earthman Southwest Funeral Home is proud to uphold his heritage and commitment to our community.

Today, we are a member of the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest group of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers in North America.

"I mostly dealt with our funeral director, Kenny Gattis, and I am very thankful for the exceptional service and attention to detail that he provided from the beginning to the end. He was always accommodating, easy to talk to, and very reassuring in dealing with all my questions. He was honest with issues that would come up such as busted pipes and inability to schedule services because of the winter storm, and he always let me know where things stood and what to expect. Overall, the service provided was professional, efficient and caring, which are what you need as you deal with one of life's difficult situations."
