Our
History
While
many funeral homes today are owned and operated by a corporation,
that often resides in another city or state. Lacy Funeral
Home has a history of local owners that have always served
only Stephenville.
Brinkie Trewitt was the founder of the Trewitt Funeral Home
sometime in the early 1920s. Before that, it was part
of the
Hardin Lumber Yard. After his death in the early 1940s, the
funeral home was operated by his wife, Lillie, and their
son-in-law,
Scott Reed, following his discharge from the Army at
the end of World War II.
Lyle Lacy purchased the funeral home in 1971, and it was named
Trewitt-Reed-Lacy Funeral Home. He stayed at the original
location until 1975 when a new funeral home was built at the
present location, 1380 Harbin Drive, Stephenville, Texas.
At that time, the name was changed to Lacy Funeral Home.
