History

Established in 1908.

The year was 1908, and the tradition begins when a young man of 26 years, W.A. White, began his career in Springtown, Texas, a career that would encompass more than a century and four generations of changes in the funeral industry.

W.A. White began selling coffins for the general mercantile store. Most coffins of the time were made of native woods with only some being finished inside. Moving to Poolville in 1913, White worked for Ward, McDonald and Doughty Mercantile, again specializing in the selling of coffins. A man of great vision and foresight, White’s dream of owning and operating a funeral home began to take shape.

Meet the Business Owner

Bob W.

Business Owner

In 1980, Bob and Carolynn White bought the established Memory Gardens of the Valley Memorial Park on the Mineral Wells Highway. They have beautified the grounds, adding many amenities making it one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the area.

With increasing pre-​arranged funeral sales, the accounting and maintenance of such plans became more than the local funeral home could handle. In 1988, Bob White joined several other independent funeral directors from West Texas in Funeral Director’s Life Insurance Company, now a company of nearly 1 Billion dollars in insured pre-​need plans, making it one of the largest providers of pre-​arranged funeral plans in the United States. Bob White continues to sit on the board of directors of FDLIC.
