Biographical/Historical note
The Doolin Funeral Home, located in Conway, Arkansas, was founded by Trust Turner Doolin in January of 1929. Over the years, it was located at a number of sites, the last being an historic structure (the Erbacker home) at 1422 Caldwell Street in Conway. It remained there for almost all of the last twenty-five years of its operation.
Trust Doolin was born on September 9, 1897, in Morrilton, Arkansas. For a number of years, he was associated with his stepfather, H.A. Britt, in the funeral business in Morrilton. He came to Conway in 1928. During his professional career, he was twice elected as president of the Arkansas Funeral Home Directors Association. After his death on January 10, 1960, his widow, Doris Egan Doolin, continued the business until her death on January 31, 1966. After several additional years of operation, the business was purchased by McNutt Funeral Home of Conway. The new owners closed the funeral home in January of 1969.
