Boyer and his son Charles Zeno Boyer (C.Z.), established a blacksmith and undertaking business in Leadwood, Missouri. After obtaining his embalmers license in 1912, C.Z. and his wife Lottie (Womack) Boyer opened the C.Z. Boyer & Son Hardware and Undertaking Company in Desloge, Missouri. Thier only son Burlin joined the family business in 1932. The business expanded in 1955 with the purchase of Benham Undertaking Company in Bonne Terre, previously under the management of P.A. and Lenn Benham. Soon after, the Bonne Terre and Desloge Funeral Homes were incorporated under the name C.Z. Boyer & Son, Inc In 1992, Boyer Funeral Home in Leadwood was purchased from Burt Boyer.
