                     HONORING BRINSON FUNERAL HOME

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 5, 2013

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable funeral home, Brinson Funeral Home.
  Brinson Funeral Home was established in 1939 by Booker T. Brinson, 
Sr. and Ruby Brinson at 723 Aloe Avenue in Cleveland, Mississippi. They 
worked diligently in the farming industry in Sunflower County to be 
able to purchase their funeral home. In the early 80's their son, John 
Brinson, took over the business. John wanted to maintain the legacy and 
vision of his parents, who believed that every family they serviced was 
special and deserved the best during and after their bereavement.
  The Brinson Funeral Home staff of funeral directors and morticians 
understands that it is ``A Home That Service Built''.
  Mr. Brinson throughout the years has maintained the authenticity of 
the facility, while using the latest technology and educational tools, 
the funeral home continues to be a thriving establishment in the 
community. Brinson Funeral Home sponsors, contributes and participates 
in numerous youth and charitable organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Brinson 
Funeral Home for their dedication in being a cornerstone in the City of 
Cleveland and Bolivar County, Mississippi.
