Moms death was very hard on my family and I. Keith handled the details, arrangements and services with professionalism, dignity and Grace. I do not know how I would have gotten through this time without him. Thank you, Keith and the staff at Mesquite Funeral Home.

We showed up without an appointment and Keeton stopped what he was doing to make time for us and answer all our questions. We purchased a casket and vault and learned that when the vault is not purchased through funeral home, the vault company must set it. I was a little uneasy since I know how mistakes can be made when so many different people involved, but I explained my feelings and Keeton made sure to call me and kept me updated. The casket was delivered to funerL home on time and the vault was in place on day of service. He made the process easy and I would highly recommend. Also, the casket we purchased for our mother was absolutely beautiful and less expensive than purchasing direct from funeral home. Thanks to Keeton and entire team at Caskets and More.

the location looks kinda rough, but they were compassionate and less than 1/2 the cost of the name brand funeral home.

Google Reviewer

They were both sensitive and low cost. Burying your loved one is hard enough without some corporation price gouging you during the process. I encountered none of that here. It's a family own business and they treated us like family the office was great the service was better.

Terry and the whole staff here were amazing to work with. Very informative through the whole process. I highly recommend this company. As they care for the families they help.

Google Reviewer

During a tough time, its always helpful to find a resource, and thats what they were. It seemed fine. I wished they would respond to emails and voicemails, as its hard to be the persistent one during grief. Other than that, I felt a $150 flat rate to send ashes via USPS was a clear margin grab&.I get that everyone has to make money but that seemed a bit blatant and excessive to me. However, I had to comply as I dont live in Texas. Other than that, it was fine. Not stellar, not terrible. I personally dislike being interrupted and talked over constantly, and I realize its a communication style, often culturally embedded, I found it irritating and unhelpful, but thats just me.
