A fifth-generation funeral home owner, Mr. Bowen grew up in the Luff-Bowen Funeral Home. Upon earning his embalming license and becoming a funeral director in the late 1960s, he began as a funeral assistant for Mann Mortuary. Between 1967 and 1968, he worked as an ambulance driver and attendant, prepared bodies for funerals, and arranged and delivered flowers to cemeteries. After a year with Mann Mortuary, he became the owner and manager of Luff-Bowen Funeral Home, where he remains today as an adviser. In addition to overseeing managerial and personnel matters, Mr. Bowen embalms remains, conducts funerals and burial services, cremates bodies, and more.
An expert in his field, Mr. Bowen studied mortuary science at John A. Gupton College and holds a Bachelor of Science in business from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Driven to remain abreast of changes in the field, he aligns himself with the Tennessee Funeral Directors Association, Sigma Chi, and Shriners International. Additionally, he is a third-generation Mason. In conjunction with his work, Mr. Brown contributes to his community through the American Red Cross, the Waverly Exchange Club, and the County Election Commission.
While his career has been filled with highlights, Mr. Bowen takes the most pride in marrying his wife. When he met her, she was working at a hospital and he was working at his family's funeral home, taking patients in and out of the hospital. Looking ahead, he intends to continue helping people through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Ultimately, Mr. Bowen aims to remain a faithful Christian by extending God's word to those in need.
