At Bowman Funeral Parlor we offer the least expensive options first. Our goal is to help customers make informed financial decisions at a difficult time.

In 2014 we moved to a new location, just east of State Street and Horseshoe Bend Road. We continue to provide clear merchandise and services options and fair prices, in a modern setting. We are still aware that family budgets are an appropriate element of funeral discussions with our customers.

Our goal remains the same and judging by our growth, a growing number of consumers agree.

  • It's been just past a year since my husband sudden death brought us to Bowman's. Right after the hospital pronounced my husband death, in the very late hours that evening, I arranged funeral arrangements over the phone. The family working at the parlor truly helped with an understanding of grieving family lacking experience with burying their deceased for the very first time. I trust in their honesty and integrity, their compassionate approach and patiently made everything clear, did not mind me laboring over questions, were swift to provide workable solutions. I found the entire family truly dedicated to doing this work in the merciful context it entails. They also made it easier to deal with government agencies as far as submitting information for us to the right departments as much as they were allowed, with advice and suggestions as to which important agencies our family should contact and what to do for the imminent future to facilitate better care and provisions especially for me, the spouse requiring the most aid. They were quick and helpful to get the doctor's submission for cause of death on the death certificate (required by subsequent agencies to which I had to send), after the doctors omitted the entry in the original report. I will certainly be meeting with the Bowmans again regarding my own passing arrangements for when it occurs. Thank you and God bless you and your family for your work.  Siew H Allen
