Modern funeral home, diverse services

Designed with comfort in mind, our lovely Bellaire Boulevard funeral home is warm and welcoming. We have a large chapel with flexible seating and plenty of room for gathering with friends and family—before or after a memorial service. We can even handle a catered event.

The team at Garden Oaks Funeral Home & Crematory embraces diversity and innovation. We are dedicated to creating personalized funeral and memorial services, whether that means something wholly traditional or uniquely imaginative. Perhaps you want a direct cremation and a cemetery burial or maybe the event is a modern celebration of life with live music, favorite foods and a send-off so grand people talk about it for years. Whatever your vision or your loved one's wishes, we go the extra mile to make it happen.

And although there are many decisions you may have to make during a stressful time, we'll help guide you every step of the way. From writing an obituary to choosing flowers, picking a casket or cremation urn to coordinating with the church and cemetery, we have refined processes that honor you and your loved one to ensure impeccable attention to every detail.

Cremation services in Houston

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 operate a private, on-site crematory and work with 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.
