When Your Battle Has No Name, But the Sacrifice is the Same
May 24, 2020 byAs we observe Memorial Day 2020 under very unique circumstances this year, the annual gathering of families and close friends to observe has many new options and conditions surrounding our traditional observances. For veterans themselves, there were countless days when they could not celebrate traditional holidays at all because of where their service to our country found them at the time. “Giving up” holiday time to serve the USA is Continue Reading…
Celebrating Our Mothers —Those Here with Us and Ones No Longer Here
May 10, 2020 byMother’s Day is the annual opportunity we are given a gift, to show appreciation for the first loves in our lives. Growing from infant to child to young adult to “functioning adult,” we can thank our mothers for being the facilitators of who we will become. They listen to our hopes and dreams, drive us to see people and places where we can attempt to become professional sports players, business Continue Reading…
Locally Owned Businesses Experience Dynamic Community Support
April 22, 2020 byChelsea and I were talking recently about how our Bryan-College Station locally owned businesses have come together to support other locally owned businesses. It has been, and remains, a time of special consideration, of incredible courtesy, and particular creativity—a positive response to a life-threatening pandemic. We see the hearts of the people of Bryan-College Station shining through. Mother Teresa said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have Continue Reading…
Instilling Legacies of Faith, Hope, and Courage
April 6, 2020 byAt Callaway-Jones, paying tribute to Life and Legacy is our mission. We ask, “How will you be remembered?” in our pre-need conversations and in times of immediate need. We focus on the legacy a person creates in his or her lifetime and how that legacy can best be shared in bringing comfort to those we leave behind. It’s true our funerals have changed, short-term, but only in numbers of Continue Reading…
Thank You for Following Our Lead During the COVID-19 Pandemic
March 19, 2020 byThe good news? There’s no social distancing required with our fur babies right now! For the rest of us: We can all appreciate our nation, state, and city leadership as they have anticipated how to keep individuals alive and thriving—physically and economically–with Centers for Disease Control programs addressing this COVID-19 pandemic.

What Would You Give for One More Day?
February 28, 2020 byRecently, the phrase “What I wouldn’t give for just one more day” has been stuck in my mind. Each February, as we gather with those remembering their loved ones lost at Valentine’s Day, then the meaning of “Leap Year,” one bonus day, February 29th, a “gift of time” that people tend to forget. What a difference a day makes! What if we took the approach that every certain date (whatever Continue Reading…
Brazos Valley’s Heart of Giving on Full Display This Week
February 21, 2020 byI really love the month of February in Bryan-College Station because there are so many different activities and opportunities to “give back” to– important nonprofits that need our help. Every year the theme might change, or it might not, but the reality is that during this special month, people come together to celebrate an organization and salute the volunteers who advance its causes daily. Last Friday, Valentine’s Day was very Continue Reading…

Welcoming a New Decade—Omit Resolutions, Add in Your Dreams
January 13, 2020 byLet’s see by show of hands (virtually), how many of you have already abandoned your diet resolution, going to the gym, or your promise to yourself to clear your home of one item every day for the next year? If your hand is in the air, don’t feel badly. After all, resolutions are just goals—ideas you list—compiled maybe a week or two before year-end. They come to mind when you’re Continue Reading…
The Spirit of Christmas Is What We Make It
December 25, 2019 byOne of the things I like most about the holiday season is that people seem to be smiling more than usual. It’s often in anticipation of being together with family who lives at a distance. Just like the old days when we were growing up, people planned far in advance where they’d be this week of the year—together with family. It wasn’t in any book,, but I think I heard Continue Reading…
Our staff is courteous and understanding. Our facilities are brand new, contemporary, comfortable and peaceful. Our services are handled with honor and respect. If you are not completely satisfied with any of our services or facility offerings, we will reduce or eliminate the charge. We are the only funeral home in the area to offer this guarantee.
Funeral and Cremation costs can be very confusing. Often times other funeral homes quote what seems like a low price, but actually they do not give you the complete costs and there will be hidden add on charges after you have chosen to utilize their services. We have made it easier to understand by creating our No Hidden Fee Guarantee!
