Garmon Funeral Home has been serving the East Texas community for over 85 years. It began in 1937 when Felix W. Jenkins Sr. and Anna Marie Holliman Jenkins founded the Jenkins Funeral Home. In 1963, Jenkins Funeral Home was purchased by funeral directors E.R. Sterling and T.D. Armstrong. They operated the funeral home until May of 1968. On June 1, 1968, W.F. Garmon Jr. and Myrtle J. Carter Garmon

became the sole proprietors of the funeral home. The business was then named Jenkins-Garmon Funeral Home. After 40 years in the funeral industry, the firm was named Garmon Funeral Home. In January of 2016 the old funeral home building was removed, and construction on a new building began. The new building is twice the size of the old one, and allows the Garmon family to accommodate the change in needs of the community. The new building allows up to 5 viewings at a time with the addition of two viewing rooms. These rooms also serve as overflow rooms to the main chapel creating seating for up to 150 people. There is a projection screen in the chapel to allow for videos and slideshow presentations to be played in honor of the families loved ones. The overflow rooms have flat screen TVs for videos and slideshow presentations as well. An interactive multimedia casket room and arrangement office is now available to assist families as they choose their memorial selections. Flat screen TVs for memorial service selections are available to accommodate large groups of people. Couches have been added to the arrangement office so families and friends have the option to make memorial selections from the comfort of a living room setting. Separate bathroom facilities have also been added to the new building for men and women. Garmon Funeral Home has available a larger off site chapel that can sit up to 250 people. We can also provide services at any venue chosen by the family.
