A Message to Our Community

As this year comes to a close, all of us at Spurgeon Funeral Home want to pause and express our heartfelt gratitude to the families and community members who have placed their trust in us.

This year, like every year, has brought moments of deep sorrow as well as opportunities to honor lives, share memories, and support one another. It has been our privilege to walk alongside you during times that require compassion, dignity, and care. We are continually humbled by the strength, love, and resilience shown by the families we serve.

To our community, clergy, caregivers, and partners—thank you for the kindness and cooperation that allow us to serve with respect and professionalism. Your support means more to us than words can express.

As we look ahead to the new year, we remain local and committed to being here for you —listening, supporting, and honoring every life with the care it deserves. May the coming year bring comfort, peace, and renewed hope to you and your loved ones.

From our family to yours, we wish you a safe, peaceful, and meaningful New Year.

With sincere appreciation,
The Staff of Spurgeon Funeral Home

Our Story

Spurgeon Funeral Home, now a three-generation business, was founded in Kurtz, Indiana, by the late T.A. Spurgeon almost 125 years ago. Spurgeon, his wife, and both of his sons, H. Jack and Emrole, were licensed embalmers. In 1944, the firm moved to West Commerce Street in Brownstown. The business then expanded in 1956 and H. Jack and his wife Margaret built the present facility on East Commerce Street in Brownstown. H. Jack Spurgeon operated the business after his father died in 1928. He and his wife Margaret then operated the firm until his death in 1977. Mrs. Spurgeon, along with their sons, Larry R. and Jack D., ran the business until her death in 1994. The business is now owned by Mary Sue Spurgeon after Larry’s death and operated by Luke Nolting, Dwight Wischmeier, and Lisa Wischmeier. We are proud of our family’s long tradition of funeral service. We have served several generations of our friends and neighbors. This fact demonstrates our commitment to you and the entire community -- a long-lasting dedication to serving others in the best and worst of times one can know. To us, personal service is important whether it is before a loss, during the arrangements for a loss, or after a loss.
