June 15, 2019 byAs this weekend highlights men who are devoted to their families, celebrated on Father’s Day, there’s a group of men in our community who also deserve special recognition and our thanks: you who serve as mentors, guides, friends, and stand-in dads for our young people.

Caps and Gowns, Hopes and Dreams
May 25, 2019 byCommencement. Graduation. Ceremony. Those three words pack such punch into their sole presence on a page. Commencement—getting on with. Graduation—being recognized for achieving a goal you set your mind to. Ceremony—an opportunity to gather in celebration that you’ve reached the top of one hill and you’re looking to thank all those who brought you to this point and say, “thank you.” Across the Bryan Independent School District, I’m proud of Continue Reading…

Holy Week and the Power of Faith
April 13, 2019 byWith Holy Week approaching, I’ve been thinking about how fortunate it is to grow up in a family of faith, whatever religion we’re introduced to. As children we hear “Easter” and we think: bunny, candy, dress clothes. As adults we hear “Easter” and we think “faith.” For adults, when Palm Sunday arrives, all you have to do is hear the opening notes on the church organ to know that every Continue Reading…
Two Area Tournaments Slated “Fore” Good Causes
March 25, 2019 byThis week I’m celebrating the arrival of Spring and enjoying Daylight Savings Time. I’ve even asked some friends to join me think about how great mowed lawns look.

Surveys Say: Your Feedback is Helpful to Our Family
February 25, 2019 byRecently we conducted a mail-out and social media survey, asking some important questions about your needs from a funeral home. It was a random mail-out, so maybe some of you received them on or near your 30th birthday. If that happened, sorry! No, we weren’t trying to tell you anything! These surveys are random, and we don’t know how they’ll be received. Still, you all have been responding to them 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.
