Common questions

Who do I call first after a death?

If hospice is involved, call hospice first. If the death is unexpected, call emergency services. Once the body can be released, the funeral home can arrange transfer.

Are funeral homes licensed in Texas?

Yes. The Texas Funeral Service Commission licenses funeral directors, embalmers, funeral establishments, and crematories under Chapter 651.

Can we choose cremation without a service?

Yes. Direct cremation is an option. Families can still hold a memorial later at a church, home, beach, cemetery, or funeral home.

How long does a death certificate take?

Timing depends on the medical certifier, county, and state filing process. The funeral director explains what has been filed and when certified copies are expected.

Can you help with veterans honors?

Yes. Bring discharge paperwork if available. The funeral home can help coordinate military honors, flag presentation, cemetery scheduling, and benefits guidance.

What is pre-need planning?

Pre-need planning records your wishes before your family is under pressure. It can cover service choices, burial or cremation preferences, and funding options.

Can family out of town participate?

Yes. Many arrangements can be handled by phone or secure forms, and services can include livestream or delayed memorial options when family is traveling.
