When she passed away recently, I chose Eastgate and they did a great job handling everything. She was cremated and they were buried together. The funeral home did everything they promised to do and I thought the price was very fair. I dealt with Ray Hailey and was also introduced to the owner at the initial meeting. Ray had a professional and calming demeanor. The owner Scott Smith brought the urns to the cemetery the day of the service and stayed for the graveside service. I feel like their company did an excellent job.

The hardest thing in my life to accept is loosing my father in early January of 2022! I still wish…read moreit was a bad dream to the strongest degree and that I could still see and talk to him like before! That being said, it does bring comfort that he was buried at the same cemetery as his parents and I do feel the upkeep and security at Sacred Heart is handled well with our personal experience so far. What comment/review I did see, I believe on the main website, that came as a disrespect to that particular situation seems to have been answered by the staff in charge. It put my mind at peace to see that action would be put in place. They have a mass every first Saturday of the month. The parking does need some attention because it gets pretty packed and its very limited. Many of us just parked along side the curb where the path continues throughout the cemetery site. I went a few months ago to Saturday mass and this did help me to continue to grieve and know that their are others in the same situation. Within the chapel area there are bathrooms as well as privacy for those that were cremated.

Mom had arranged everything in advance, so we thought it would be easy. No. The meeting to make…read moreservice arrangements needed 2 men with different duties - it was like a "good cop - bad cop" interrogation with characters out of the Munsters. We were taken to an underground bunker, using an aged elevator - in which we were told "you don't want to know what this and the offices we are going to were previously used for." Ugh. That meeting included a requirement for $1,052 for a 6"x3" plaque on the existing grave marker, being shown how much money we had "saved" (line by line) compared to today's prices, upselling options, and suggestions to pay in advance for our own funerals asap - to save or families from the cost. We also were told about the importance of doing as instructed because graves were being claimed and bodies disposed of by criminals posing as relatives and reselling the sites. It couldn't have been more grim. The graveside site visit (to an unkempt mess, and area that is clearly not maintained in any way (with misaligned and damaged grave markers, broken walls, damaged signage and uncut grass) included being shown available plots in the even rougher areas in case we wanted to buy today, and having to listen to the escorting staff's personal tragedies... instead of being allowed to focus on our own loss. The second bunker meeting ended being asked to hand over the $1,050 because it takes 3 months to get the marker, being told that the flower people were too busy to speak with us, and a reminder that their jobs were in danger if we gave any bad feedback. When we said that we did not need some of the paid for items, the required reimbursement to the estate was promised and has been defaulted on for 2 months despite multiple calls and promises to resolve. Oh, and on the day, they forgot the pall bearer's boutonnières. It took 2 months to get the death certificate - and only then by calling multiple times when they told us thy had been lost in the mail... yes really. We went and got them ourselves in the end. We were left no choice but report this place to the Texas Funeral Service Commission (TFSC). Btw - the flowers ended up being x3 the price they are elsewhere - so we didn't use this place for those - neither should you. Bottom line - Steer clear, and if you're already committed, be ready to deal with a used car lot level customer service.

What made this experience even worse was seeing my brother's obituary published with multiple typos and errors. An obituary is a final tribute to a loved one, and mistakes like that are inexcusable. It showed a serious lack of care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this funeral home.

It was a very complicated situation, partly because he was murdered and partly bc his affairs were not in order. But they were so delicate and compassionate for my situation.

So I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need.
