In 1903, Mr. G.T. Haggard established the Haggard Furniture Company in downtown Jefferson on Austin Street, after graduating from Sam Houston Normal Institute. Mr. Haggard not only sold furniture but also sold caskets out of his store, which is now River City Mercantile. In 1908 he became a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, doing most of the embalming in the home and having the funerals at the residence or in a church.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.

Report
During this very difficult time for us, we were treated with the deepest respect and consideration. They allowed us to take our time to say goodbye and were extremely patient. Also, they helped us to work within our budget and did not try to upsell us on any of their services or products. I can not say anything but praise for this funeral home. This was my 3rd family member to lose in the last 32 months - one here, one in Louisiana, and one in Georgia. This was the most professional, caring services of the three. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs to care for their deceased love
