Traditional and contemporary funeral services in Temple, Texas

Located on Airport Road, Scanio-Harper Funeral Home is designed and decorated to create calm and provide comfort, it serves people from all walks of life and all faiths.  

When you first meet with a Scanio-Harper funeral director, we'll ask questions about your loved one: what he liked to do, what she cherished, how he thought about the world, or how she liked to spend time. You can inspire us with a memory of your loved one, a hobby that grew into a passion, a favorite music genre or a signature style. From reading to running, gardening to gospel, prize-winning horses to prize-winning pies, we take the things that mattered most to your loved one and work to gracefully weave them together to create a personal and heartfelt memorial.

We'll also help you write an obituary, create a multimedia tribute video for the service and assist you in choosing music.

Cremation services

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in this increasingly common decision, the funeral home team can explain the process and different choices. From a direct cremation without a memorial service to a witness cremation or a full funeral service before or after the cremation, we help you understand this option and will handle all of the cremation arrangements.

A loved one's urn or ashes may be picked up at the funeral home, or we can deliver them to your home in person or by mail.

Planning ahead

At Scanio-Harper, we also recognize that funeral arrangements and associated expenses can be overwhelming. In addition to assisting during a time of immediate need, our funeral directors specialize in working with families to plan ahead. By preparing in advance, you provide a sense of relief, peace of mind and comfort for your loved ones while ensuring your wishes are met and your budget is maintained. A complimentary planning guide is also available with no obligation.
