- DGdebra garzaNov 12, 20255.0I have to give Corpus Christi Funeral home a 5 star rating. My Dad recently passed and Debra Foster is an excellent Funeral Director. The best I’ve seen and I’ve attended a few funeral’s this year. She was warm and helpful and met all our needs for the best funeral experience. Her staff is top notch. I encourage anyone who needs preplanning or needs to prepare for the unexpected as we did, to see Debra Foster and her staff.
- BLBrenda LozanoOct 14, 20255.0" I want to sincerely thank Corpus Christi Funeral Home for the compassion, professionalism, and care they showed during such a difficult time. They handled every detail of the funeral arrangements with kindness and respect, making sure our family felt supported throughout the entire process. Their guidance bought comfort & peace of mind when we needed it most. We are truly grateful for their services. Highly recommend their services."
- LZLuis ZepedaSep 30, 20255.0Everyone at Corpus Christi Funeral home took care of us in our time of grieving. From day 1 picking out the particulars being sensitive to our needs and listening to what we wanted to do for our father. Accommodating in every way. We had a Sunday viewing and service. There were attendants every step of the way. The video/dvd memorial for my father was put together and very well thought out. Up until the last moments with my father, a phone call letting us know when he would be cremated provided the opportunity to pull over and recite a prayer at that moment. Great communication!! Thank you.
- SAser aleSep 26, 20251.0The funeral home should bring a better staff,since they should take the responsibility to uphold the highest standards and not be rude in mannerism. The loved ones are being put to rest and should have their respect especially with families who are mouning the loss of a loved one. Seek other funeral homes. I would highly recommend don't go with these people.
- JPJ PowellSep 19, 20255.0Me and my family were treated with dignity and respect. Very professional and empathetic to the needs and emotional vibes of family members. I will not hesitate to refer my friends and family to this establishment. JPowell
Frequently Asked Questions About Corpus Christi Funeral Home
Do I have to make different funeral arrangements if I choose cremation?
It really depends entirely on how you wish to commemorate a life. One of the advantages of cremation is that it provides you with increased flexibility when you make your funeral and cemetery arrangements. You might, for example, choose to have a funeral service before the cremation; a memorial service at the time of cremation or after the cremation with the urn present; or a committal service at the final disposition of cremated remains. Funeral or memorial services can be held in a place of worship, a funeral home or in a crematory chapel.
What can be done with the cremated remains?
With cremation, your options are numerous. The cremains can be interred in a cemetery plot, i.e., earth burial, retained by a family member, usually in an urn, scattered on private property, or at a place that was significant to the deceased. (It would always be advisable to check for local regulations regarding scattering in a public place-your funeral director can help you with this.)
Today, there are many different types of memorial options from which to choose. Memorialization is a time-honored tradition that has been practiced for centuries. A memorial serves as a tribute to a life lived and provides a focal point for remembrance, as well as a record for future generations. The type of memorial you choose is a personal decision.
What is memorialization for a cremation?
You might choose ground burial of the urn. If so, you may usually choose either a bronze memorial or monument. Cremation niches in columbariums are also available at many cemeteries. They offer the beauty of a mausoleum setting with the benefits of above ground placement of remains. Many cemeteries also offer scattering gardens. This area of a cemetery offers the peacefulness of a serene garden where family and friends can come and reflect.
Can we scatter the cremated remains?
If you wish to have your ashes scattered somewhere, it is important to discuss your wishes to be scattered ahead of time with the person or persons who will actually have to do the cremation ashes scattering ceremony, as they might want to let your funeral professional assist in the scattering ceremony. Funeral directors can also be very helpful in creating a meaningful and personal ash scattering ceremony that they will customize to fit your families specific desires. The services can be as formal or informal as you like. Scattering services can also be public or private. Again, it is advisable to check for local regulations regarding scattering in a public place-your funeral director can help you with this.
If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if he or she was in a casket?
Yes — Depending upon the cemetery's policy, you may be able to save a grave space by having the cremains buried on top of the casketed remains of your spouse, or utilize the space provided next to him/her. Many cemeteries allow for multiple cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space.
What do I need to know about income tax when I lose a spouse?
Uncertainty about income tax issues can add to the stress experienced from the death of a spouse. You should meet with your family attorney and/or tax advisor as soon as possible to review your particular tax and estate circumstances. Bring a detailed list of your questions to the meeting. If you do not have an attorney or tax advisor, call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040 for answers to specific tax questions.

Can cremated remains be scattered, and how is this managed?
Yes, ashes can be scattered with proper planning; funeral directors can assist with meaningful ceremonies. It's important to check local regulations for scattering in public places.
Is it possible to be buried with a spouse if one is cremated and the other casketed?
Yes, depending on cemetery policy, cremated remains can be buried on top of or next to casketed remains, often in a single grave space for multiple cremations.
