Darelle Drake Broussard

Darelle Drake Broussard

Owner / Funeral Director

Darelle was raised and groomed by the late Lincoln and Dorothy Broussard, his great grandparents. He attended Loreauville High School, graduating in the Class of 1999. He began working in the family funeral home at a very young age and decided to continue in the family’s 70 years of the funeral experience. So he relocated to Houston, Texas and began his studies at the Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service, acquiring an Associate of Science Degree and becoming board certified with a license to practice the “art” of Funeral Directing and Embalming in the state of Texas.

During his early years in the funeral industry, he became acquainted with Rodney F. Byrd, owner of the then Metropolitan Funeral Home of Houston, Texas, and Mr. Byrd took Mr. Broussard “under his wings” and taught him all he knew about funeral service. Through this relationship, Mr. Broussard developed an extraordinary gift in giving families the finest farewell.

In order to further his experience and become well-rounded, he became an employee of the nation’s largest funeral corporation, Service Corporation International, in order to gain the skill he needed to become one of the best embalmers. He also contracted independently with various funeral homes in Houston and surrounding areas to do their embalming. During this time, he saw a great need for more qualified embalming.

After much prayer, hard work, and sacrifice, he felt “his wings were strong enough for him to fly” and he opened Anointed Hands Embalming Service in Houston, TX in March 2005. Working tirelessly to build a quality and professional business, within the first year, had outgrown the 1000 sq. ft. building he started in and relocated to the current 2100 sq. ft. location. For the past five years, Anointed Hands Embalming Service has been serving the funeral industry in most of North America and several other countries.”
