In 1926, two brothers with a shared dream opened the doors to what would become a cherished part of Amarillo’s history. Howard and Paul Boxwell believed that every family deserved compassionate care during life’s most difficult moments, and with that guiding principle, Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors was born. Nearly 100 years later, their legacy lives on, woven into the fabric of the Texas Panhandle community. For generations, families have turned to Boxwell Brothers not just for services, but for a shoulder to lean on and a partner in remembering their loved ones. Where It All Began: A Legacy Rooted in Family The Boxwell Brothers story began with a simple but profound idea: treat every family as if they were your own. Howard and Paul opened their first funeral home on South Polk Street in Amarillo, creating a place where grieving families could find comfort, guidance, and respect. Their parents, E.E. and Maude Boxwell, joined the business, along with their younger siblings, creating a true family enterprise. Together, they set a standard of care and compassion that continues to define the business today. “It’s more than a service—it’s about honoring a life well-lived,” Howard once said. That sentiment became the foundation of Boxwell Brothers’ mission.
