Brashears Funeral Home, Inc.

Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory, located at 509 North Gaskill Street in Huntsville, Arkansas, has been a pillar of the community since its founding in 1934 by Bruce Brashears. Originally operating as Bruce Brashears Funeral Parlor in a two-story building on the historic Huntsville square, the business later moved to the north side of the square in 1943. In 1972, construction was completed at its current location, where it continues to serve families with dignity and compassion. Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, the funeral home is proudly owned and operated by Stacy Easterling, who took over from his stepfather, Sumner Brashears, in 2018. Sumner, a third-generation funeral director, remains actively involved as President Emeritus, ensuring the legacy of care and service endures.

The funeral home offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the unique needs of every family. These include traditional burial services, cremation services with an on-site crematory added in 1984, and personalized life celebrations. Brashears also provides pre-planning options, allowing families to make choices in advance to reduce burden during difficult times. Financial assistance is available, and the facility is fully wheelchair accessible, with accessible entrances, parking lots, restrooms, and seating, as well as a gender-neutral restroom. The staff is committed to serving the LGBTQ+ community and all individuals with respect and compassion.

Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory is more than a business; it's a place where life is celebrated and memories are honored. The property underwent a complete interior remodel in 2018, featuring custom artwork, handcrafted cabinetry, and new landscaping, creating a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere. The dedicated staff includes licensed funeral directors and embalmers like Jakeb Ree and Jeremy Ramsey, as well as apprentices like Jordyn Parker. Randy Shinn, a longtime funeral director, remains available for at-need services even after retirement. The team also runs Brashears Florists, offering floral arrangements for services.

Open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, the funeral home is easily accessible with on-site parking. With a perfect 5-star rating and a reputation built over nearly a century, Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory continues to be the trusted choice for generations of families in Northwest Arkansas.
