Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home, Inc.

Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home in Spearman, Texas, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in the Texas Panhandle for over 70 years. Located at 519 S Evans Street, this family-owned funeral home is part of a legacy that began in 1926 when five Boxwell brothers—Howard, Paul, Lloyd, Alton, and Ivan—moved to Texas to establish their first location in Amarillo. Over the decades, the business expanded to include locations in Dumas, Stratford, Perryton, and Spearman, with the Spearman location purchased in 1943. Alton Boxwell moved his family to Spearman in 1944 to oversee operations there and in Perryton. Through transitions in ownership, the Spearman and Perryton locations eventually came under the leadership of Alton's sons, Richard (Dick) and Robert (Bob) Boxwell, in the late 1970s. Dick and Bob continued the family tradition, supported by their education in mortuary science—Dick graduated from TCU and San Antonio College's first mortuary science class in 1962, and Bob attended the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science after serving in the Army. Today, the business is operated by Dick's sons, Jeff and Brent Boxwell, ensuring the family's commitment to personalized, respectful service endures.

The funeral home offers a range of services to support families during difficult times. Its facility includes an onsite chapel, wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, and ample on-site parking. Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home provides traditional funerals, cremation options, grave opening and closing services—a service the home has offered since its inception in 1943—and pre-planning assistance. Notably, the Boxwells were pioneers in community emergency care, providing ambulance services until 1970. The chapel also serves the nearby community of Booker, Texas. The staff is dedicated to guiding families through every step, from obituary and service arrangements to sympathy flowers and memorials. Recent obituaries and upcoming services, such as those for Eleanor V. Hartwell, James R. Sullivan, and Maria L. Chen, are regularly updated and accessible online.

Deeply rooted in the Spearman community, the Boxwell family has been actively involved in civic clubs, boards, and local churches. Their motto, "It is a privilege and honor to provide our community with kind, caring and compassionate service," reflects a philosophy that treats each family as their own. With generations of experience and a warm, professional approach, Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home remains a trusted partner for families in Spearman and beyond, offering comfort and guidance during life's most challenging moments.
