About Us

I spent 28 years helping people make funeral arrangements for their loved ones. I founded Putnam Funeral Home & Crematory in 1999, which I sold to another independent funeral home in 2021. The funeral home had locations in Kingsland, Marble Falls, Bertram, and Llano (closed in 2013). 

I have thousands of very emotional experiences that I shared with people grieving a loss over the years. Each one of these families holds a special place in my heart.

Notable Experience: In the first part of my career, it was very common to have funerals for WWI veterans and people born in the 1800s. In my first few months, I was at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas. I stood in awe, looking over the thousands of graves within the walls of the cemetery and the history that was within my eye's view.

Within months of my retirement, I stood in the same cemetery in awe of hundreds of thousands of graves. I could no longer see the entire cemetery from one spot. These were the new graves of the WWII veterans who died during my career. I entered the funeral service with WWI veterans and left with only a few WWII survivors. It is very humbling to visualize the impact of a generation of people.
