Stowers Funeral Home

Stowers Funeral Home, located at 401 West Brandon Boulevard in Brandon, Florida, has been a cornerstone of the local community for over six decades, blending historic charm with compassionate, modern funeral care. The funeral home occupies a building with deep roots in Brandon's history: the original structure was a two-story Folk Victorian Southern mansion built in 1876 by James H. Brandon, son of the town’s founders. This historic home, known as the Brandon Homestead, was later purchased and converted into a funeral home in 1960 by Dick Stowers, with financial support from John “Rudy” Williams. Mr. Stowers operated the funeral home until his retirement in the late 1990s. Remarkably, the facade and basic floor plan of the original L-shaped house have been preserved for nearly 150 years, offering a warm, familiar setting for families during their most difficult times.

As part of the Dignity Memorial network, Stowers Funeral Home provides a wide range of services including traditional burial, cremation, and memorial ceremonies. The funeral home is known for its personalized approach: the professional staff listens to families’ stories to create tributes that capture the essence of each life. Whether a family envisions a glamorous masquerade ball, a tropical luau, or a motorcycle procession, the directors strive to fulfill final wishes. Music selections can reflect a first dance or a favorite era, and the flexible reception space accommodates both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
