Mercy Funeral Home had its beginning in Beaumont in 1957, in the old Fleming Funeral Home building at 1081 Gladys Street, by Founder, William H. Taft. This facility remained in service until 1963, when a new facility was built at 1395 Gladys Street.

In 1975 an expansion was added for the convenience to the community and surrounding areas. Our lobby area expansion in 1975 created a comfort to the families were served.

 

Mercy Funeral Home has served the citizens of Beaumont continuously since the beginning and has maintained its facilities with needed improvements, much deserved by the citizens of Beaumont, including a larger chapel and other measures of convenience and beautification. The facility has two chapels and one stateroom.
