Lowther Cremation Service

Lowther Cremation Service, Inc., located at 1555 27th Street in Vero Beach, Florida, is a trusted provider of dignified cremation and funeral services deeply rooted in the Indian River County community. Established in August 1997, the business was founded by the Lowther family, whose heritage in funeral service spans three generations. The family’s history in the area dates back to the 1950s, when Joseph D. Lowther, Sr. began working in the local funeral industry before going on to own and operate funeral homes in Ormond Beach and Holly Hill. In 2001, the family expanded their Vero Beach presence by opening Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory on the adjoining property at 1655 27th Street, offering a full spectrum of funeral and cremation options. Together, these two locations form a comprehensive resource for families seeking compassionate, professional care during times of loss.

The Lowther family remains actively involved in the day-to-day operations, ensuring a personal touch that larger corporate providers often lack. Thomas Lowther and his wife Beverly have been married since 1981 and are proud parents of Kari and Ryan. Kari R. Lowther joined the family business in 2006, while Ryan S. Lowther and his wife Saranne S. Lowther—both licensed funeral directors—came on board in 2013. The team also includes Timothy D. Myers, a dually certified licensed funeral director and Martin County firefighter paramedic, as well as Michael and Dadra Smith, a husband-and-wife team who have supported families for over a decade. This dedicated staff reflects the company’s core philosophy: “our family serving your family.”
