Garmany & Carden Funeral Directors, Inc., has roots in our community tracing back to 1865. In that year, a Richmond businessman who owned the local lumber yard and other business interests, Mr. Anton Wessendorff, established the first funeral home in historic Richmond, Texas, located along the Brazos River in Fort Bend County.
Anton Wessendorff's son. Meanwhile, the Rosenberg, Texas, funeral home facility was opened in 1926 by A. W. Clark. In 1928, A. E. Foerster purchased the Rosenberg chapel, and in 1930, Fred Klauke joined the funeral home as a partner. In 1946, John H. Garmany became a partner in the Rosenberg funeral home.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn.

Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love.

Losing a friend is hard enough, losing a friend and conducting his funeral as clergy is harder. These folks are wonderful. Yes, they are a business, but these folks are a ministry to the community first and foremost. I can see a charlatan from a mile off, likewise I can spot genuine and the directors at Garmany and Carden, I thought, were genuinely affected by our loss. The directors were not only there for me in every way, but as clergy they also made me feel like part of a team of people trying their best to comfort the bereaved, and comforted we were. I will never forget you folks. Thank you
