Our Story

Our History

James Bradshaw Earthman Sr. was a blacksmith and livery service provider in Taylor. As proprietor of the livery stable, James was frequently asked to assist with funerals. Beginning in 1889, providing funeral services became James's full-time profession. In 1904, James and railroad surveyor J.C. McCarty, moved to Houston and established the Earthman and McCarty Undertaking Co. After J.C.'s death, the company became J.B. Earthman Company.

After the death of James, his son, James B. "J.B." Earthman Jr. left his architectural career to manage the company. Blanche Bastien Earthman (J.B.'s wife) assisted with the operation of the business and was one of the first women in Texas to become a licensed funeral director. J.B. and Blanche built Earthman Funeral Directors & Cemeteries into one of the largest family-owned and operated funeral companies in the United States.

In 1948, the couple opened a new location in Baytown. A few years later, they opened our sister location: Earthman Memory Gardens Cemetery on Garth Road. The first burial took place there in April 1954. In 1978, they moved Earthman Funeral Home to its current location, 4.5 miles south of the cemetery, also on Garth Road.
