From Sir Winston, and everyone here at Brown Funeral Home, may you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[Brown Funeral Home @BrownFHNiles]

Last Friday, we were honored to be lead in procession by Mr. Trussell’s very own refurbished 1945 Farmall BN tractor. Mr. Trussell was very proud of his work on his tractor, which won Best in Show at the Dowagiac Harvest Festival. It was a wonderful tribute for a wonderful man!

Winston has been hard at work with his therapy training. He has used his time during the Stay at Home order to work on his ability to resist treats. What have you been doing to stay productive during this pandemic?

We honored the life of #WorldWar2Veteran, Cleo Hinton. Mr. Hinton treasured his #Navy uniform that he wore. The family honored him and his service by displaying his uniform at his memorial service. After 75 years, it was still in pristine condition! #Veteran

Trudy Petersen spent many years working as the office manager at Kenneth Smith Inc. As a way of thanking her, and honoring her life, Kenneth Smith placed one of their big rigs in front of the building during her visitation. What a wonderful tribute to her life!
