Our Story
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 26 years. The mortuary traces its roots back to 1948 when Harold Stillwell opened the Stillwell Mortuary in 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. In 1963 Mr. O’Dell decided it was time to grow so he bought a home at the corner of State Park Road and Poinsett Highway and remodeled it to become the new O'Dell Mortuary. In August of 1972, Townes and Kathleen Howze purchased the mortuary from Mr. O'Dell. In 1973, the name was changed to The Howze Mortuary. On June 20, 1996 ground was broken for our current state of the art funeral home. On April 27, 1997 a dream of the Howzes’ to give the Travelers Rest area a new funeral home was realized. Our mortuary has a 200 seat chapel, four spacious viewing rooms and ample parking. We at The Howze Mortuary believe that personal service is the backbone of our business and for the last 38 years we have offered service that is second to none. In 2009, Raymond and Brynda Brown purchased the mortuary from the Howze family and will continue to give the Travelers Rest area the compassionate family oriented service that has been the main focus of our 71 year heritage.
