The Sparkman Family of funeral homes has been a part of the Dallas community since its founding in 1892. Sparkman/Crane Funeral Home was constructed in 1956 in the growing White Rock area and was the first structure in Dallas to be built strictly for use as a funeral home. Three of our funeral directors, LeAdrianne Murphy, James Jones and Chris Taylor, have each served families funeral needs for 33 years, both in Dallas and at Sparkman/Crane.
