I had my mother cremated here at Heart Of Texas cremation, and they were very kind and considerate when I picked up my mother and took her there and then cremated her. When they picked her up, they showed her dignity and kindness, which meant a lot to me. Their prices for her cremation were very reasonable and I highly recommend them

I feel Kristen went above and beyond during the hardest time of our lives. I will never forget her. She was so supportive, communicative and honest during the whole experience. She has a really good heart and I would definitely recommend her!

Google Reviewer

I just want to personally get on here and finally thank Kristen for the special care and attention that she showed my grandson during his untimely passing. She was very quick to respond to my messages rather it was email or voicemail. And she did the little things that I asked like while hes there and waiting to make sure to leave the light on for him and to tell him we love him every night. This has been so painfully hard to endure with his sudden loss and so much to go through and are still going through. She just made it better. I will forever remember her kindness and attentiveness that she showed our sweet boy! Thank you so much Kristan!
