Matt Bell, Funeral Director in Charge/Manager
Office Phone: 254-662-2131

Matt was born and raised in the Texas Panhandle town of Pampa. From a young age he felt a strong calling to the funeral industry, but did not pursue his dreams until 2006 at the age of 22. He knew this sacred industry would only be kept as such by people possessing compassion, dedication, an enormous amount of discipline, and especially hard work. He made a vow to himself and to the industry to only provide the best possible service to families, and has been extremely successful in this goal ever since. Matt feels extremely honored that the families of the central Texas area entrust him with their wishes during such difficult settings.

Matt graduated from Dallas Institute of Funeral Service in 2007. Upon graduation and serving his apprenticeship he obtained a position with Pecan Grove Funeral Home in 2008. He feels extremely blessed to work amongst others who hold the funeral industry as close to their hearts as he does.

Matt enjoys spending time with wife Brittany, and four children, Kyndal, Owen, Ross & Rooney which he considers to be nothing short of the highest blessing. He also enjoys fellowship, working on ways to stay healthy, movies, and music.
