Why Us?

In a nutshell? Experience, professionalism, compassion, and empathy.

We've learned a lot over many years. Like how to present options without overwhelming. And how to meet the needs of many caring parties. People come to us in difficult times, and we respond kindness, calmness and expertise. Our goal is to create a beautiful occasion and make you feel welcome, always. We spend our days planning with families. We stay up to date with industry developments. And we make hard times a little easier.

Douthit Funeral Services was established on August 13, 2000 through a vision, when God spoke to Thomie Douthit instructing him to start a funeral service that would be innovative and new by offering a service of in home arrangements, where families could make arrangements in a familiar environment.

At our inception there was no physical address, no cars, or a chapel, but God said go forth and the journey began. From a small office at 404 Northgate Park Drive, use of a church sanctuary on Green Way Avenue, a visitation center on N. Cherry Street to our current location at 4655 Brownsboro Road. Our 9,000 sq. foot facility is adorned with a 120 seat chapel and a 2,500 sq. foot visitation space.

At Douthit Funeral Services, we are Funeral Directors for the Millennium. Our staff is truly our best asset, as they exemplify our watch words of compassion, consideration and concern.
