- CSCassandra Smith6 days ago5.0From my first initial interaction with Stacy, who is the kindest woman you will ever meet, to the transition to a director Ms. Christy and Autumn were amazing! During a very difficult time, these ladies showed a tremendous amount of kindness and grace! Ms. Christy's memorial folder was one of the best I have ever seen. She took the bits of pictures and information I provided and made it so beautiful. This is my third (3) time using their services and highly recommend them. Thank you Cypress Fairbanks funeral home.
- VBViviana BottiniDec 23, 20255.0I wish I could have met this incredible people under other circumstances. They were the most amazing human being during this difficult time in my life… specially Ms Cristhie. I would like to thank the whole staff to make me feel I was in a secure place to say goodbye to my baby brother! Thank you so much
- BCBrenda CastroDec 21, 20253.0Everything was fine, but there was a lady who was very rude. I've been to other funeral places who were friendly and respectful but this lady was having a bad attitude.
- MZMaxwell ZhouDec 16, 20255.0Chau and the funeral team did an amazing job at honoring my mom, Nina. They were able to work with us during a very difficult time and in a very fast and efficient manner. They made sure we didn't feel pressured and always made sure someone was there to help us and answer any questions.
- PRpatrick rogersDec 7, 20255.0All I can say is they are amazing. Christy and the whole team made the situation easy and bearable. They handled everything with ease and I could not recommend them any more highly. From the first phone call to the end of the funeral, and beyond they have made this process seamless.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cypress-Fairbanks Funeral Home
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
Why are funerals so expensive?
When compared to other major life events like births and weddings, funerals are not expensive. A wedding costs at least three times as much; but because it is a happy event, wedding costs are rarely criticized. A funeral home is a 24-hour, labor-intensive business, with extensive facilities (viewing rooms, chapels, limousines, hearses, etc.), these expenses must be factored into the cost of a funeral.
Additionally, the cost of a funeral includes not only merchandise, like caskets, but the services of a funeral director in making arrangements; filing appropriate forms; dealing with doctors, ministers, florists, newspapers and others; and seeing to all the necessary details. Funeral directors look upon their profession as a service, but it is also a business. Like any business, funeral homes must make a profit to exist.
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.
