Community served. Spurgeon Funeral Home, 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. 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. In 2021, the Spurgeon Family transitioned ownership to Luke & Caitlin Nolting, both lifelong residents of Jackson County. 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.

On this Good Friday, we remember the quiet weight of the cross—and the love that chose it.

“It is finished.” — John 19:30

In those words, we are reminded that even in life’s darkest moments, God’s plan is still unfolding. Grief is real, loss is heavy, but hope was secured on this day.

As we walk alongside families in their hardest seasons, we hold close the promise that this is not the end of the story.

A day of sorrow… but not without hope.

If you know what these View-Master cards are… you’ve seen a few years go by. 👀

Those memories are special—but they’re also a reminder that planning ahead matters. Pre-planning your funeral is a thoughtful way to make sure your wishes are known and to spare your family from difficult decisions in the future.

At Spurgeon Funeral Home, we’re here to walk you through the process with care and compassion.

Call our office to schedule an appointment with Luke to learn how simple pre-planning can be.

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.
