Legacy Legacy Funeral Group is proud to announce the addition of Bailey-Howard Funeral Home and Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home to the Legacy family. We are excited to welcome these two respected businesses and their dedicated teams as we continue to grow our presence in Texas. We look forward to supporting their continued success as part of the Legacy family. Bailey-Howard Funeral Home, located in Clyde, Texas, has roots in the community spanning more than a century and a long-standing tradition of serving generations of families throughout Clyde and the surrounding area. After acquiring the business in 2010, Monty and Debbie Howard continued that tradition, becoming a trusted part of the community through its commitment to personal service and compassionate care. As Bailey-Howard begins this new chapter with Legacy Funeral Group, Christy Barron will continue as Location Manager, with Bryan Hicks serving as Area Manager and Kevin Combest as Regional Director. We are pleased to have Christy, and the Bailey-Howard staff join Legacy and look forward to supporting the team as they continue the longstanding tradition of caring for families and serving the Clyde community. Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home was established in New Braunfels, Texas in 1923 by Oscar and Emmie Doeppenschmidt. In 1952, their son, Bennie, and his wife, Ruth, took over operation of the funeral home. In 1970, Carl Doeppenschmidt joined the business and in 1988, added the Canyon Lake funeral home to the Doeppenschmidt family. Michele Doeppenschmidt later joined the family business and together with her father, Carl, continued to provide the Doeppenschmidt funeral service tradition to the New Braunfels and Canyon Lake communities. Through four generations of family ownership and operation, Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home has remained dedicated to the compassionate care established more than a century ago. Legacy Funeral Group is honored to be entrusted in carrying on that dedication and will do so with Joel Evans as Funeral Director in Charge along with the Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home staff. Together they will continue serving families throughout the Central Texas area, with Ryan Stephens serving as Regional Director. As the Legacy family continues to grow, we are proud to welcome both Bailey-Howard Funeral Home and Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home, along with their dedicated teams who have made these organizations a staple of their communities. We look forward to being a part of both funeral homes as they continue their established traditions of compassionate service and care. Please join us in welcoming Bailey-Howard Funeral Home and Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home to the Legacy family!
