About Us

The Skirpan Funeral Home opened on March 1, 1922. We are an independent, family owned funeral home. Our caring, compassionate, and experienced staff coupled with our state-of-the-art facilities and our very well respected reputation for excellence in the community have pushed us to the forefront of funeral service. 

The Skirpan Funeral Home is the oldest and largest continuously owned family funeral home serving the greater Brownsville Area.   We are now in our third generation of continuous family ownership with Guy A. Skirpan and his wife Deanna. Our funeral home has not changed hands or ownership throughout the years. We are a permanent staple in our community, having served the Brownsville and surrounding communities yesterday, today, and will continue to serve our communities in the future.

This year, in 2023, we are celebrating our 101st year in the funeral business - an unprecedented accomplishment that speaks volumes about the generations of families that have placed their complete trust and faith in this funeral home.

Even though we have a beautiful, spacious, fully staffed funeral home, we still have the fairest prices in the area. We understand the importance of keeping costs within a budget. We understand that every family's wishes are different and unique. This is why we offer a very wide selection of services which allows your family to choose only those services that are meaningful and affordable. Sometimes, people are hesitant to discuss cost, but we want to be open about all of the aspects of our services. The very best doesn't mean that it will cost you more, in fact - it will probably cost you less.

We believe that we help our families the most by listening to them and providing choices. Our purpose and goal is to take care of the details and complexities, while offering a very dignified and personalized service. Through diligence in planning and arranging every detail on behalf of the bereaved families that we serve, we feel that we are able to alleviate some of the stress of grief. Our entire licensed and non-licensed staff are solely dedicated to the purpose of providing a helpful atmosphere and setting where grieving family and friends can reflect on the person who has died. Funerals offer a time and place for people to gather and support one another and to reach out in love and concern. They allow each participant to grieve in their own way and at their own level. Remember that there is real wisdom, healing, and comfort in observing the grief process both in ourselves and in others.

Most importantly, Skirpan Funeral Home is committed to taking care of every detail on your behalf. We listen very carefully to each and every family, offer a wide choice of services, and arrange services which keep with your own traditions and financial means.
