An overview of the McGowan Funeral Home Collection, and the kinds of information you may find in its records
The McGowan Funeral Home was operated by Alto and Georgia McGowan between 1956 and 1995. African American families served by the McGowan Funeral Home, then located at 2830 South Ervay Street in South Dallas, provided the funeral directors with the necessary documents to support the burial of their deceased family members.
