We chose Earthman Funeral Home Baytown, TX on a recommendation of a friend. Although my fathers funeral was preplanned, we ran into obstacles from the beginning with the cemetary, as well as the military for planning the proper services for my dad. Mary Boudion, General Manager of Earthman Baytown was there and ready to help us figure things out. When the cemetary was not cooperative with us on a burial day, Mary stepped in and handled the cemetary staff both professionally and quickly to resolve the problem. When I was losing my cool, she calmed me down and assured me it would all be taken care of. Kendrick Herron, Funeral Director, was also very helpful in the planning of dads funeral. Kendrick took over handling the issues with the Military and helped us find all the information we needed and gave us direction on how to get what we need for Dad. Jim helped us on the day of burial, he was prompt, courteous, and handled all the graveside services professionally. The facilities at Earthman Baytown are clean, well decorated, and large enough to accommodate our needs. The dining area across from the chapel worked nicely during the visitation and allowed our family and friends to have a break with good catered food and a comfortable atmosphere to sit and reminisce about dad, while still being close to him. I would recommend Earthman Funeral Home Baytown to anyone seeking a positive experience in a time that can be very stressful. Thank you Mary Boudion and Kendrick Herron for a job well done

On behalf of my family…read more.. Words really can't express how amazing the process has been for our loved one with this funeral home.

She has a really bad way to talk to people who have just lost a loved one. Her tone of voice is extremely disrespectful, if you meet her, you will understand....My family and I agree that she ruined our grieving and last moments with my grandfather. Throughout the whole service, she kept complaining about my family eating outside in the parking lot, and "making a mess." When there was no trash being left around. The AC did not work that day, and my dad had to buy 4 fans (out of pocket) because Ms. Margaret was not doing anything to make it better. Everyone was sweating and frustrated, and we were all concerned about my grandfather's dead body. The refrigerator was also not working, which was not mentioned at the time we signed the contract, but we were definitely charged for it. We had no place to store our snacks that we had for our guests who came from far away to attend the service. She also kept talking about her personal life EVERY TIME she was making an announcement, which was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Seriously, if you want your loved one to have a peaceful funeral service, find another place but this one.

I don't know how much it cost to have them take care of you from A-Z but I just know whatever it was, it was worth every single penny. They are so thorough. They think of everything! Jerry you run a tight ship and it shows! So very impressed with you and your entire team. What I loved most is how every single place we needed to be was already strategically planned out. You can tell they have done this many times. And they did it well. From the flower placement, the monitors, the hors d'oeuvres, the reception, the drinks, the cold wet towels with the cold water bottles served to us in scorching heat during the burial, the big umbrellas you pulled out of your never ending Mary Poppins type bag for the pallbearers so they could have some shade. Even down to the mini paper fans. The way he was able to relay all of the families request and wishes in a professional manner to the guests. The way every single person on his team was dressed (the garments were so nice) how they continuously presented themselves professionally. They made you feel like you were at the funeral of the President of the United States. (Although, I was told they have done it there before) I think the most impressive thing about this place was how they made the widow feel. In that moment during all the events he was 100% her biggest supporter and gave her the peace of mind she needed while she was grieving. He knew exactly what to do every single time. And he was such an all around nice guy. Very approachable. Great job to Geo H Lewis. I've attended many funerals and this one definitely raised the bar. When you die, the celebration of life is for those that are left behind.

While my experience here in January 2024 was good, the service during my Aunt's recent funeral was filled with unnecessary struggle and communication issues. From the very beginning of the planning stages, I noticed a severe disconnect. The funeral associate handling our arrangements, Jonathan, was continuously difficult to get in touch with. There seemed to be no sense of urgency on his part to communicate. I even tried to make things easier for him by offering email as our primary platform instead of calling, but the responsiveness just wasn't there. Because we had to postpone the original funeral date by 8 days, our process was longer than usual, which made reliable communication even more critical. We had to specifically prompt him just to get the obituary loaded onto the main website. When the postponed service date finally arrived, we discovered that the printed program cards had the wrong day of the week on them. While the numerical date was correct, the day itself was wrong. For a family, these programs are meant to be a lasting keepsake; instead, it looked sloppy and made it seem as though we hadn't tied up our loose ends. Just when we thought we were nearing the end of the process, communication went completely nonexistent. I ultimately had to call and demand to speak with someone else just to find out why the death certificates were taking so long. We were finally told that they were simply waiting on the doctor's signature. While that delay is entirely understandable, the complete failure to communicate that status to us is not. There are certain professions that require immense sensitivity, empathy, and care toward family members. Funeral directing is absolutely one of them. Our family is very small, and we were already spread incredibly thin. After spending countless days in the ICU with our loved one, making difficult decisions, saying goodbye, and planning a service, I desperately needed the funeral director to be the supportive caretaker I was hoping for to help us close this chapter. Instead, I walked away exhausted and deeply disappointed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (originally 4 stars) 1/15/2024: Writing reviews for funeral homes is always difficult, but maintaining objectivity is the best way to help other families navigating these spaces. I have attended three services at this location over the years--most recently this week--and wanted to share an honest, balanced perspective on the experience. Traffic Noise: Because the funeral home is located right off the highway, the exterior traffic noise is incredible before you step through the doors. While this isn't something the establishment can necessarily control, it can be a bit jarring and disturbing when you are actively grieving. Having not been here in a few years, I noticed the gathering room has been updated with a less traditional look. They have replaced the carpeting with a wood-style flooring. Seating: Personally, I found the new individual chairs to be quite small and uncomfortable. The older, pew-style seating felt much more inviting and comfortable for longer services. The staff here are incredibly welcoming, warm, and attentive. They did a fantastic job setting up a beautiful, personalized themed display table for my uncle. They were also highly accommodating with our schedule. Since we were hosting an off-site luncheon immediately following the service, it would have been difficult to pack up all of our personal photos and flowers right away. The staff graciously allowed us to leave them and return later in the day to pick them up, which was a huge relief. The burial grounds are very pretty, especially with the beautiful new expansion they have added. Having stood right alongside my Aunt through the planning, costs, and service, I can say the experience was ultimately a good one.

At this point, I've sadly been here twice in my life for both of my parents and I continue to visit…read moreevery so often. The last time was only less than a month ago. Their visitation/memorial were elsewhere but they are buried here so I can only comment on that part of their services. They are conveniently located right off of I-10 and have a decent amount of parking, though when you go further in, it's mostly street parking so not an actual parking lot/spaces. Depending on how far your loved one is buried, you might be able to just park by the main building and walk over. The grounds are extensive so I've never been able to explore properly as my parents are buried just being the mausoleum, so we could walk if we wanted to. It's not bad if it's not summer. For the first burial, I didn't have much to do with the planning. However, for the latest one, we had the pleasure of working with Chase at Memorial Oaks. My remaining parent had the forethought to plan everything "just in case" so when we went, we only had minor decisions to make within the "package". It was a pleasant surprise since it was a sudden death. He was very approachable and easy to talk with. He was also pretty responsive. We didn't meet again after that as the burial service was on the weekend and they are apparently busy those days. More accurately, it's generally busy. When we finally met with our funeral director at another funeral home, the scheduled date for everything was a little over 2 weeks later. Not due to choice, but those were the earliest dates available. They do say someone dies every 2 seconds on Earth. Based on that, it makes sense. The receptionist building is quite nice, bordering on fancy. They have super thick and soft disposable hand towels in the bathroom, their cookie platters are never empty, and they have beverages. Quiet with soft music, a bit of a solemn environment. The grounds itself are fairly well kept, but not the best cemetery I've been to. They can be quite nice to relax in and some seem to encourage that. Not this one (no randomly placed benches under trees, minimal sidewalks, no picturesque stream running through the grounds with a bridge over it). However, I don't really see overgrown grass or weeds there which is nice. Wear sensible shoes after a rain because the ground can get a bit soggy. It's a place to "visit" your deceased loved ones, but it doesn't really go much farther than that. Mostly because... My one complaint are the mosquitoes. Every time I visit, we get attacked by mosquitoes. They are voracious there. And relentless. And I usually encounter those huge ones that actually hurt as their proboscis pierces through skin; no special numbing mosquito saliva for them! No matter the season, they are there ever since the first burial 6 years ago. Every. Single. Time. I wish Memorial Oaks would spray for mosquitoes because my family has never stayed for longer than 5-7 minutes because of it and my parents are buried next to a bench so we could definitely linger for longer and maybe even picnic there. But we haven't because my family includes younger kids and it's best that they not become a part of the buffet either. (Or maybe that's what they're going for? Hah. Kidding.) Aside from the mosquito problem, this is a nice cemetery (and funeral home) that I would overall recommend. Great service and nice amenities. Except for the mosquitoes. That's the reason why I'm only giving 4 stars. Tip: I highly recommend looking into "packages" if you have the monetary means. You can pay monthly and they are a HUGE help to the people helping arrange for funeral services once you're gone. I'm thinking about doing it myself and I'm not middle aged yet. Just in case.
