Joseph M. Newman
Owner / ALFD #06552 / Notary
Hello my name is Joseph Newman, in 2015 my father, Alton J. Newman, and I started Newman Mortuary to fill a need for a reputable black owned funeral home here in Ozark. I received Bachelors in Business Administration from Troy University and attended Jefferson State Community College. Although I was not born into the funeral industry, I have grown to love the industry and most importantly the people that have trusted us with the task of honoring their loved ones.
