Can't put into words how grateful my family and I have been for Serenity Funerals. The staff was…read morevery polite and made us feel like family. They worked with us and explained the contract of what was being charged very clearly. We had two deaths a month apart from each other. They helped provide a reader for the obituary for the first as they had a speaker to do it for us and for the second was able to give us a list of churches we could call for a Deacon(catholic services/rosary). You are able to have a viewing from 12-6PM and the services next day. I'll always be thankful for stumbling upon this funeral home in our unexpected times in need. Thank you to everyone

In June 2024, my family experienced one of the most heartbreaking losses of our lives; the passing…read moreof our beloved mother. In the midst of that pain, we were guided with grace, compassion, and extraordinary care by Martin Thompson & Son Funeral Home & Crematory in Fort Worth. What they did for our family went far beyond a service; they gave us comfort, dignity, and peace during an unimaginably hard time. Payton, in particular, was a godsend. From the moment she stepped in to help, she treated us with warmth and empathy that felt like an embrace. She didn't just fulfill her duties; she went above and beyond, staying in contact with us after hours, making sure every step of the process was handled gently, respectfully, and with deep understanding. When we learned that our mother would need to be transported from Houston; a four-hour drive away. Martin Thompson & Son didn't hesitate. They made the trip themselves, a gesture that spoke volumes about their dedication. Not only did they care for her transport, they worked seamlessly with the private cemetery where our family plot is located, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and grace. Perhaps the most touching act was Payton's careful, loving work in preparing our mother for a private family viewing. Because of the condition she was in, we didn't know if it would be possible to see her again in a way that felt peaceful. But Payton made it possible. She restored her in such a gentle, dignified way that we were able to say goodbye in peace, seeing our mother as we remembered her: serene, whole, and beautiful. I truly cannot say enough about the extraordinary care we received. Martin Thompson & Son didn't just provide a funeral service; they gave us compassion, attention to every detail, and a space where we felt supported and seen. They treat families with a level of personal connection and respect that is rare and deeply needed in times of loss. If you are facing the unimaginable and need a team that will walk with you not just professionally but humanely; this is the place. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Payton, and everyone at Martin Thompson & Son. You helped us carry the weight of our grief, and we will be forever grateful!!

To begin with, Billie looked like she was asleep in her final resting place....especially important considering how sick she had been. The casket was beautiful, the visitation was nice and respectful and the graveside service was perfect overall...again, especially considering it was done at 1:00 pm on a hot day. Everything was handled professionally. I know the family and all her friends appreciated this wonderful send-off to such a sweet lady. Condolences to all her family and friends!

I would have not chosen this as the funeral home to handle my father's cremation and service had I…read morebeen able to have a say in it. Due to extraneous circumstances around my father's passing, the family member that was in state, was out of the country when he passed and there were delays in the family being notified that were out of state. The hospice he was at called this particular place to pick up my father. I wish I would have been able to intervene sooner. The level of professionalism just wasn't at any level I would call professional. The representative that we dealt with belonged on a used car lot, and not a reputable one. I really don't want to hear about stripper funerals when I am picking out urns and planning a service. He kept telling us the wrong amount for what was due after the initial costs of the cremation, etc. A check was written the day of the service for a remaining balance and then almost a month later, we were informed that we owed them the amount we were repeatedly told was already taken care of. I had asked my in town relative when I was in TX what the deal was, so I could handle it out of my father's accounts if needed, they didn't have the answers, so I relied on a proper accounting from the funeral home. Basically, it had to come out of pocket when a month ago it could have been taken care of in a different way that we no longer had access to. It was all paid, it was just basic misinformation, miscommunication, lameness on their part throughout the whole process. They found a reverend even though I had request that they did not, who just happened to be the reverend of the used car sales man funeral guy. My father's pastor was out of the country and I figured, better to have none then someone who did not know or care about him. The Stand in reverend they found used the wrong name of my father's mother even after I had asked him to read what I had written about my father seeing as he didn't even know him. That is always great during a memorial service, especially when you are paying this person, oh I mean "tipping" them and they basically refuse to read what you prepared then say the wrong name. After receiving the Death Certificate, I realize why he used the wrong name of my father's mother, because it was also wrong on the death certificate. It is not the name listed on my father's birth certificate. Another fail. He also told us the obituary had already been run, we did not even get a copy or link to it. But, it now ends up, they never ran the obit even after charging us for it. So, they are going to run it this Friday, a month after the funeral. Another epic fail on their part. I called the funeral director, Lee, to talk to him about this, to express my overall dissatisfaction. He came out of the gate funky; like he was put out that I would even try to have a conversation with him about anything I was unhappy with. I was cut off, over talked, disrespected and hung up on. I have a feeling that a lot of more mature "gentlemen" in Texas are old school and do not know how to discuss business with a woman respectfully. I was told that it was his "right" to continue to interrupt me. Great. I was told that what I was telling him was 100% wrong and when I asked if his accounting was 100% right, he said "absolutely". I really hadn't even been able to say a full two sentences at this point. Then, he started lighting in to me about the length of time that they had to hold my father and issues he evidently had about my sister being out of the country and not having access to reliable communication methods. He actually told me she could have sent a TELEGRAM. OK. Right. Because that is such a preferred method of communication. I am sure they charged us for the time my father was there, generously, and also it was almost impossible for me to get a timely call back when I did get in the mix and start dealing with them. The location is also in a industrial-ish, not so nice area with nothing around it but hospitals. Not nice at all. The overall appearance of the funeral home is tacky. Plastic columns and plants. I would not recommend them, at all. It was a clown show at best.

Early on in living in Fort Worth, I happened to drive by and spotted the cemetery. Of course I had…read moreto pull over almost getting in an accident as I changed lanes suddenly and without notice. This cemetery was a trip back in time as I read the history on many of the grave markers. The city did a great job preserving the cemetery as the economy grew around the sacred grounds. Parking can be a little tricky, but the location is easily accessible once at the cemetery. What I found amazing was the one marked as a Confederate soldier captured in a Union P.O.W. camp.
