Our Story

Our Beginnings

Don and Nina Brown founded Brown Funeral Home 1068 Main St. Chipley in 1966 with the goal of serving families in Washington County and the surrounding areas. In 1994 Don became the manager of the former Wachob Forest Lawn Funeral Home and Cemetery located on Brickyard Road in Chipley and in 2009 purchased it from Prime Successions and renamed it Brown Funeral Home, Brickyard Chapel. He served families from both of his establishments until 2014 when he sold Brickyard Chapel to a local church in Chipley, Grace and Glory. Renovations of the Main Street Chapel began in March of 2014 to increase the capacity of seating to over 200 people and to provide for any type of service needed. Today, we continue to serve families with the same compassion and understanding that we have become known for throughout the years. We will continue to offer pre-need services with a licensed pre-need agent on the staff, which is required by the State of Florida, to take care of all pre-need funded or non-funded arrangements you wish to make. We offer full funeral arrangements, cremation and after care as well and have a staff with combined experience of over 150 years to serve you at your time of need.

Being family-owned and operated, we believe we have the community knowledge to serve any family in their time of need.
