                      HONORING WOOLF FUNERAL HOME

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 7, 2014

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable funeral home, Woolf Funeral Home.
  Woolf Funeral Home was established in 1940 by Henry Woolf in Tunica, 
Mississippi. After opening in Tunica and his determination and desire 
to offer outstanding service to the bereaved, he opened a funeral home 
in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
  After the passing of Mr. Henry Woolf in 1958, Woolf Funeral Homes was 
purchased by Mr. Ben Brown who continued on the legacy of Mr. Woolf. In 
1978 Mr. Brown passed and his son, Willie A. Brown, a retired United 
States Air Force veteran and licensed funeral director, became owner.
  Mr. Willie Brown's vision to make sure every family they serviced was 
special and deserved the best hours of their bereavement. He has, 
throughout the years, continued the establishment in the community. 
Woolf Funeral Home contributes and participates in numerous community 
and charitable organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Woolf 
Funeral Home for their dedication in being an outstanding establishment 
in the cities of Clarksdale and Tunica and the Counties of Coahoma and 
Tunica, Mississippi.
