Michael L. Brenner

Houston County Monument Works has been serving families since 1987. Owner Michael Brenner is an artisan with the mission of creating monuments unique to each loved one's memory.

"Families depend upon me to render a dignified, fitting memorial for their loved one. It is my mission to see that I give them a memorial created with every attention to detail.  Families share special memories with me as we design the monument together; it is very much a family-involved process.  My families deserve the best, and that is what I deliver."

Unlike other  monument companies, Brenner's designs are "Double Processed" which reflects the deepest, clearest cut letters and designs. Memorials stand out from the rest in the cemetery, and are clearly a superior product.

"Creating Monuments that Endure the Test of Time"

A former president of the Monument Builders of the Southwest, Brenner was chosen as Memorialist of the Year for his "outstanding commitment to support research in product design, manufacture and installation for the betterment of his service to his customers." He is still very active in the association which has become the Southern Monument Builders Association.

​

In 2022, he was again elected as Memorialist of the Year "in sincere appreciation for your faithful service to SMBA and the memorial industry."  He is also currently a member of the board of directors.

Together, Michael and his wife Sarah have four children: James "Rusty" Brenner, Leslie and husband Jamie Jinkins, Michael Ellis, and Andrew Ellis and wife Kacey.  They also have two grandchildren: Carter and Brooklyn Jinkins. 

Michael is the current president of Spring Creek Country Club; he is a Paul Harris Fellow of the Crockett Rotary Club, and is a member of the First United Methodist Church of Crockett where he serves on the Board of Trustees, Finance Committee, Church Council, and heads up the Cooking Teams Committee for Family Night Dinners.
