Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home

Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home, a cherished pillar of the Sulphur Springs community, has been providing compassionate, professional funeral services for over six decades. Now located at its state-of-the-art facility at 876 Wildcat Way, the funeral home is owned and operated by the Orwosky family, who have been serving Hopkins County and East Texas through three generations. The business traces its roots to 1889, when W.G. Murray established the Murray Funeral Home on North Davis Street. In 1963, Gene Orwosky became affiliated with the firm, leading to the construction of a new funeral home at 419 Gilmer Street, which opened on November 1, 1963, under the name Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home. Throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, the Orwosky family—Gene, his wife Rita, and their children Bill, Laura, Jack, and Jeff—worked tirelessly to serve the community. In 1997, Jeff Orwosky, Gene's youngest son, purchased the firm and continues to run it alongside his wife Sue. Their son Price joined the business in 2010, marking the third generation of family involvement. In October 2022, the funeral home moved to its newly constructed, modern facility at 876 Wildcat Way, ensuring families receive the highest quality care in a comfortable, accessible environment. The funeral home is known for its motto, 'Serving as we would be served,' which reflects its commitment to honesty, integrity, and personalized attention. Murray-Orwosky offers a full range of services, including traditional funerals, personalized memorials, graveside services, and various cremation options. The funeral home operates its own crematory—one of very few in the area—allowing them to keep loved ones in their care at all times. They also provide military honors for veterans, grief support resources, and pre-planning arrangements. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the dedicated staff ensures families receive immediate assistance when needed. The funeral home has earned an exceptional 4.9-star rating from 69 reviews, a testament to its compassionate service. Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home is not just a business; it is a trusted neighbor and friend, committed to guiding families through every step of the farewell process with reverence and attention to detail.
