In 1961 William H. & Barbara Gum purchased the funeral home from Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The Gums enlarged the Potosi location in the 60's and built a chapel in Irondale, Missouri. The Gum's took great pride in serving the families of the area.

In 1994 John H. Moore purchased the homes from the Gums. John and his staff have continued to expand the funeral homes and the service they offer.
