Our Story

Rudolph Bram started Bram Funeral Home in Hamilton, Mo., in 1930. His son and daughter-in-law, Morris and Lilyan Bram, were employed at the funeral home also and they began managing it in the 1950's. Gary Brown began working for Morris in the late 60's. He and his wife, Pat, purchased the funeral home from Morris and Lilyan in 1977. Gary and Pat's son, Todd, and his wife, Dana, moved into the funeral home in 2004, and began to help with managing and running the business. Todd and Dana purchased the funeral home in 2018 and continue to be honored to serve the county and community.
