Transferring Your Pre-Paid Funeral Policy Is Easy
September 19, 2018 bySince opening our newest Funeral and Cremation Center, I’ve been asked the same question a few times, so I thought it would be a good idea to share the answer here. If you already have a pre-need policy for your funeral and it was written somewhere else, can Callaway-Jones accept it? The answer is yes, absolutely. Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley continues to grow daily, with many of us Continue Reading…
Life Lessons for a Winning Team
September 5, 2018 byFootball season brings unparalleled excitement when fall arrives, because we expect a winning team. Absolutely, new and returning Texas Aggies alike are excited about the Jimbo Fisher era of Aggie football, which began officially Aug. 30. Chelsea and I saw the Class of ’22 and all the other classes entering fabulous Kyle Field for the first game. Their excitement is contagious for our entire community. There’s a rite of passage Continue Reading…
U.S. Senator John S. McCain III
August 26, 2018 byThis evening we commend the example and give thanks for the life of U.S. Senator John McCain, who died today at the age of 81, surrounded by his loving family and closest friends at the family’s ranch in Arizona. Although we were prepared for his passing, having heard last week that Sen. McCain had decided to discontinue medical treatment in his battle against brain cancer, the fact that he is Continue Reading…
Teachers Deserve Our Ultimate Respect
August 20, 2018 byAs new school years begin across Brazos Valley school districts, there’s renewal and a fresh spirit of optimism in the air. It’s hard to contain the excitement of a kindergarten student or first grader as they approach a new school year. They’ll be meeting teachers who they’ll consider “transformational” in their lives many years from now. Teachers are due all of the respect we can possibly offer them. Teachers will Continue Reading…
Shopping Local — What That Really Means to All of Us
August 8, 2018 byLast month, one of our Facebook friends tagged us on a post titled “Shop Local!” in which he cited statistics showing that “for every $100 spent, $68 stays in the community from a local business, compared to $43 from a local branch of a chain store.” Moreover, he stressed that our property values from locally owned businesses pay taxes that benefit schools, emergency services, and community enhancement by shopping local.

The Power of a “Thank You” Note
July 25, 2018 byGoing through the mail today I was pleased to see that we had received two thank-you notes, sent to us from families who commended team members by name. This was a great feeling for two reasons. First, I always enjoy hearing from families we serve that one or more of our team has touched their hearts sufficiently to want to let me know. Second, I love receiving thank-you notes in Continue Reading…
In Case of Fire, Break Glass and Other Emergency Plans
July 11, 2018 byYou know this phrase well. We see it to the point of almost ignoring it, written on glass cases in shopping malls, or schools and other public buildings. We take it for granted that there’s rarely an instance where we’ll have to “break glass in case of fire,” to retrieve emergency response materials. We are so used to our first responders being on our “scene” before the rest of us Continue Reading…
Family Reunions Help Preserve Legacies
June 25, 2018 byEven though local temperatures have been soaring in the 90s and even into the 100-degree mark, on June 21, we formally observed the first day of summer. And with this season we see so many families having their annual summer reunions, one of the most exciting times of the year. During spring, fall, and winter, our work weeks proceed much the same way, but for so many families, we plan Continue Reading…
Reflections for Father’s Day 2018
June 11, 2018 byI must admit, when Father’s Day rolls around, I’m reminded that my dad is not here for me to honor him in person, a situation that many of friends my age now encounter. I lost my father in 2004 but it feels like yesterday. He was only 48 and I’d been around for half of his lifetime. Rather than reflect on his loss, I prefer to remember him often, especially Continue Reading…
Graduation is a Time for Making Memories
May 21, 2018 byRight between high school proms and summer break, there is an important rite of passage for our community’s young adults to mark their transition into adulthood. High School graduation is often one of the most exciting times in a twelfth grader’s life. Not everyone fits the mold, though, of when life moves on. Some high school students graduate early, turning 18 as a junior as they’re anxious to move on Continue Reading…
