Our History

Carved from a humble beginning, today Flores Funeral Home stands among the Valley’s oldest business and among the most respected mortuary establishments, continuing a family tradition of excellence in caring service. Found by Epitacio Flores and his son, Jose R., in 1913, the business born when the two men were carpenters and Epitacio founded the business under the name of Agencia Inhumaciones, E. Flores y Cia. Their initial business enterprise was the construction of wooden caskets. As the demand for the service grew the enterprising Flores men bought a Ford Model T and built a curtain, glass-sided box on the back, creating the family’s first hearse.
