Unique offerings and amenities

With Mission-style architecture and furnishings, Sunset Funeral Home was designed with comfort and beauty in mind. The funeral home chapel accommodates up to 350 guests and includes a private family area. The reception area accommodates approximately 60.

All cultures welcome

At Sunset Funeral Home, we are dedicated to creating the personalized services you and your family deserve. No 2 lives are the same; we believe a final tribute should properly reflect and celebrate the uniqueness of each life.

Professional, quality service

We are proud to provide professional, courteous service as you and your family navigate difficult times. Our experienced team is dedicated to exceeding your expectations and ensuring a personal and memorable memorial.

Steeped in history, Sunset Funeral Home and Sunset Memorial Park are prominent and trusted parts of the San Antonio community, and we look forward to serving you.

Cremation services

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many options for cremation—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. We use only crematories owned and operated by Dignity Memorial^® providers or trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

Sunset Memorial Park

Located on Austin Highway in San Antonio's Alamo Heights neighborhood and covering approximately 75 acres, Sunset Memorial Park is an expertly manicured cemetery with a diverse range of burial options.

The memorial park has 3 mausoleums, 1 of which includes a chapel for committal services. We offer built-to-suit private estates along with cremation gardens, niches, cenotaphs and various ground-burial options.

An outdoor gazebo and outdoor pavilion in the cemetery are suitable for memorial services and serve as places of quiet reflection.

Notable burials

Various well-known individuals have been laid to rest at Sunset Memorial Park, including musicians Leon Roger Payne and Doug Sahm; Del Baker, who played for the Detroit Tigers baseball team from 1914 to 1916, served as the Tigers’s manager and coach, and coached the Boston Red Sox; and sculptor Pompeo Coppini, who created several famous sculptures and busts of native Texans.

History

Sunset Memorial Park was established in 1928. Sunset Funeral Home opened in 1974, with a chapel and on-site crematory for convenience.

In 1981, Sunset Funeral Home and Sunset Memorial Park joined the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest network of funeral, cremation and cemetery providers in North America.

As we grow and evolve, we remain committed to providing the same personal and professional service that the community of San Antonio and Bexar County have come to expect.

Veterans funerals

Sunset Funeral Home and Sunset Memorial Park are just 1.3 miles from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. The funeral home can coordinate with Fort Sam Houston or a veteran can be memorialized at our cemetery. The Field of Honor is reserved for members of the United States armed forces and includes a memorial that honors the service and sacrifice of veterans. For many veterans funerals, we collaborate with the Veterans of Foreign Wars to organize a traditional 3-volley salute.
