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…
Mother’s Day Celebrates All Kinds of Mothers & Unconditional Love
May 7, 2018 byHallmark Cards doesn’t make a Mother’s Day card for some mothers who I believe deserve special recognition and celebration. Most of the commercials we see on TV for Mother’s Day show the stereotypical happy home of Mother, Father, and children. They’re in a restaurant, or they surprise Mom with breakfast in bed, the usual delightful displays of respect. The child makes a drawing or handprint or clay object as their Continue Reading…
Softly Call the Muster — Aggie Traditions Runs Deep
April 24, 2018 byAlthough not the first meeting, by 1922, those who love Texas Aggies began gathering each April 21 to remember fellow Aggies who’d died in the preceding year. Names are read aloud; the answer: “Here.” Gone, but never forgotten. That’s one of our prized traditions. This past weekend at Reed Arena, the Brazos County A&M Club honored our local residents among the total 1612 Aggies who passed away this past year. Continue Reading…
As School Semester Draws to an End, Spring is in the Air
April 10, 2018 byWe’ve had an amazing start to 2018 in the Brazos Valley. Progress is around us everywhere you look. The long-term construction project to improve Bryan’s College Avenue is giving all of us a welcome facelift. Bryan is about to celebrate the newly restored Queen Theatre downtown and everywhere we look our neighbors are sprucing up their homes for Spring. Recently, the Texas Aggie student body likely beat last year’s record Continue Reading…
Bright Future Ahead: Inquiring Young Minds Ask Great Questions
March 12, 2018 byIs it hard to deal with death every day? What do you find rewarding about your profession? How much do funerals cost? Do you bring your own clothes? These and about 30 more questions were offered by close to 450 of Montgomery High School’s students last week in their Health Science Symposium. I’d been invited as a guest speaker to talk on what a funeral director does, and I was 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!
