Frequently Asked Questions
Guiding Midlothian Families with Transparency and Care.
What steps are involved in prearranging a funeral?
The first step would be to write down your wishes. Indicate if you would prefer burial or cremation. Write down your ideas for the service you would like, cemetery choice, etc. If you've made those choices, or even if you're unsure, schedule a time to meet with one of our funeral directors who can explain the different service options, merchandise choices, as well as the different ways to pay for the funeral.
My loved one just passed away at home. What is the very first thing I need to do?
Your first step depends on the circumstances:
If they were under Hospice care: Call the hospice nurse first. They will come to the home, handle the legal pronouncement of death, and then instruct you to call us.
If it was unexpected: Call 911. Emergency services and the police will respond to ensure the death is documented.
The Benefit of Our Service: Once the medical professional or authorities have cleared the scene, call us immediately. We are available 24/7 to begin the "Transfer of Care." From that moment on, we take over the logistics—transporting your loved one, coordinating with the County Medical Examiner, and protecting their dignity so you can focus on your family.
Can we still have a "real" funeral if we choose cremation?
Absolutely. Cremation is simply a method of "final disposition," just like burial. You can have a full traditional service with an open casket beforehand, or a memorial service with the urn present afterward.
Why should I consider a cemetery for an urn instead of just keeping it at home?
Unlike an urn at home, which can be misplaced or damaged during a move or estate change, a cemetery ensures your loved one’s remains are protected and their name is etched in history forever. Many Texas families eventually find that Permanent Placement offers three vital benefits: a place to visit, a lasting legacy, and true closure.
