Oldest, continuous business in Boerne
Family owned and operated since 1882
Dusty grew up moving around Texas and then
settling in Brownwood due to his dad coaching high
school and college football. Dusty received a B.S.
in Agricultural Communications from Texas Tech
University. A little later, he graduated from the
Texas Christian University Ranch Management
Program. After ten years in the cattle industry and
after witnessing a tragic ranch accident, the funeral
business presented itself through friends that own
a funeral home. Dusty graduated with honors
from the Dallas Institute of Funeral Services and
worked for these friends for several years. Once he
attained his license, his dream became owning his
own funeral home in the Hill Country. His wife
Jo Lynn credits God with leading them to Boerne
and to the Ebensbergers. Dusty is very proud to
continue to run Ebensberger Funeral Home the
way a family should.
