Traditional Services

Honoring a life is about celebrating its uniqueness—recognizing the individual’s personality, the choices they made, and the journey they lived.

During this time, you have several options for what a traditional service can look like, allowing you to create a meaningful and personalized farewell.

A FUNERAL SERVICE is a special time for family and friends to comfort one another, begin to find healing and celebrate a life well lived. Whether you choose burial or cremation, you can hold a funeral service to honor your loved one. Many cultures and religions have special funeral traditions, and we will do our best to choose a location who can accommodate all your requests. This is a moment for you and your family, and we are honored to help you in any way that we can.

Body Donation

By donating your body to science, you provide a unique gift to medical researchers, educators, doctors, scientists, emergency services personnel, and university medical students in Texas and across the globe. AFS works with reputable organizations and will guide you through this process with the proper forms and necessary transportation.

CREMATION

Cremation has become a popular option for many, offering greater flexibility in planning a service. You may choose to have a traditional funeral service before cremation or a memorial service at any time, with or without the urn present. Afterward, you can keep the urn, scatter the ashes, or have the urn buried in a grave or columbarium, where we can also hold a service.
