As a young man working to support his widowed mother,  the late James Crowder, Sr. dreamed of being an entrepreneur. After meeting and later marrying his dear wife Ann, his dream became hers. They worked day in and day out, and while supporting their family of four boys, their dream became the James Crowder Funeral Home.

Established in 1959 in the small, but booming town of La Marque, Texas, the James Crowder Funeral Home was one of the few full service funeral homes and ambulance service in the area. They founded their business on the belief that they were just a “family serving families”. Today, that vision still holds true. With five locations located in the Galveston, Brazoria and Harris County areas, the Crowder family is dedicated to going the extra mile. Each location has their own uniqueness about them, but they all take pride in the family business.

The original location, in La Marque has been open for 65 years! Holding true to its humble beginnings, the La Marque location serves the families of La Marque, Hitchcock, Texas City and many more. The Dickinson location opened in 1984, and is conveniently located on the corner of 646 & FM 517 and can easily be called our “premier location”. Opened in the early 1990’s, the Clear Lake location has served the residents of Harris County and beyond. This location was the first to convert part of its space into a reception area. The ability to provide a convenient after-service space for families to gather has proved to be an amazing asset. The Pearland location has served the citizens Pearland since 1999 and was purchased by the Crowder family in 2006. Much like the Clear Lake location, Crowder Funeral Home – Pearland has a reception area for families with after-service needs. Last but not least the League City location on Main Street opened in 2011.

The Crowder Crematory is the newest addition to the Crowder family. With a state of the art facility, and a State certified staff, Crowder Funeral Home – Pearland is able to perform cremations for all five locations, on site.

At each location there is an experienced staff of funeral directors who are devoted to helping you honor the memory of your loved one. Each offers a variety of services, including pre-need planning, traditional funeral and cremation services, graveside memorials and more.
