The Howze Mortuary is a family owned and operated funeral home located in the Northern part of Greenville County, SC. The mortuary is owned by Raymond "Bo" and Brynda Brown and they have been helping families in the area for the past 18 years. The mortuary traces its roots back to 1948 when Harold Stillwell opened the Stillwell Mortuary is a two story home on North Poinsett Highway in Travelers Rest. Around 1950, Mr. Stillwell built a new modern facility just down the street and continued to serve the community until 1958. Then in 1958, the mortuary was sold to James M. O;Dell and he continued operating at this location until 1963.
