Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home was one of six winners of the 2019 Dignity Awards for Excellence for its outstanding service and community involvement, an annual award given by Service Corporation International (SCI), North America’s largest provider of funeral, cemetery and cremation services. SCI named six winners out of 611 locations that educated the public about SCI’s brand, Dignity Memorial® products and services, gathered quality leads, built long-term relationships with prospective clients and engaged in community involvement. “Achieving the Dignity Award for Excellence was accomplished by the tremendous support from our Market Manager Keith Turner, our General Manager Steve Faram, our location managers and the finest and most dedicated funeral directors and staff in the profession who serve client families in need every day,” said Funeral Director Joseph DeCroce. “We also have a dedicated and outstanding L.I.F.T.® Program, which provides social support to widows and widowers adjusting to the loss of their spouse, and an awarding-winning sales team that contributed to achieving such a high level of service.” The six winners of the Dignity Awards for Excellence are all based on historic revenue divisions, while two Jimmy Odham Innovation Awards are given, one for Internal Innovation and one for External Innovation. Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home serves Fort Hood – one of the largest military bases in the world – and the surrounding areas from Killeen, Copperas Cove and Temple, Texas. About Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home was founded by Bill Crawford and Delbert Bowers in 1972. Both retired from the U.S. military, they felt a need for a strong military-related funeral home in the community. Bill was CSM of the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. Delbert was a warrant officer in charge of the Officers Club. The relationships they built during their time in the military provided a great advantage to continue to serve people through funeral service. They built upon those relationships by being active in the community and building strong relationships with people of all walks of life. Both Bill and Delbert felt it was an honor to serve families by providing the professional support they needed in their time of loss. This commitment is ever-present today in the continued operations of Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home.
