- TLTori Lamar3 days ago5.0Losing our dad so unexpectedly was one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced, and finding the right funeral home felt overwhelming at first. After touring another place and walking away feeling unheard and unseen, we stepped into this funeral home and immediately felt something entirely different. It felt warm. It felt genuine. It felt like people actually cared — and that meant everything. We honestly would have posted this review sooner, but the past few weeks have been such a painfully difficult time for our family. Even so, we couldn’t let more time pass without sharing how deeply grateful we are. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with real compassion and respect. But the person who truly became a light for our family during this dark time was Sarah. She didn’t just help us through the process — she supported us with a level of care that felt personal and heartfelt. She anticipated our needs before we even knew what to ask, took her time with each of us, and handled every detail with sincerity and grace. Sarah went above and beyond in ways we’ll never forget. She listened when we needed to talk, comforted us when emotions overwhelmed us, and never once made us feel rushed or like a burden. She honored my dad’s memory with such thoughtful attention that it brought us real comfort. Her gentleness, patience, and steady presence made an unbearable situation feel just a bit more bearable. It’s rare to meet someone who can bring peace into a moment of heartbreak, but Sarah did exactly that. She became the caring guide we didn’t even know we needed, and our family will always be grateful for the compassion she showed us every step of the way. If you’re looking for a funeral home where you’ll be treated with genuine kindness, dignity, and heartfelt care, this is the place you can trust. They gave us the most meaningful experience we could have hoped for during the hardest days of our lives.
- RTRuby Tamez3 days ago5.0Cypress-Fairbanks Funeral Home provided an exceptional experience during one of the most heartbreaking times for our family. The facility itself is beautiful with ample parking, spacious rooms, and a calm, welcoming environment for all of our guests. But what truly made our experience outstanding was Sarah, our point of contact. From start to finish, she guided us through every step with compassion, patience, and professionalism. Even while we were grieving, she made the entire process feel manageable and supported. No matter the time or question, Sarah was always there, ready to help. Her presence brought comfort when we needed it most. Although the circumstances were unfortunate, the service we received was flawless. Our entire family feels confident returning here for any future needs. Thank you to Sarah and the entire Cypress-Fairbanks team for the love, care, and support you provided during such a painful moment in our lives. From the bottom of our hearts Thank You! We know Jaime would have been proud of the care and dignity you showed him. 💙

- AAAMCNov 5, 20255.0Our family is truly grateful for the kindness and compassion shown by Cypress-Fairbanks Funeral Home. Sarah and Staci were professional, patient, and caring every step of the way. They treated our loved one with dignity and helped bring peace and comfort to our family during a very difficult time.
- TST SSNov 1, 20255.0We can't say enough about how well they treated our Dad/Husband. We have been in the Houston area for a short time, and didn't know who we could trust with our beloved, Dad/Husband. Ms. Sarah and Ms. Autumn were AMAZING, so thoughtful and listened to our family's needs. Thank you so much. This was/is a very difficult time for our family, however, you made it less difficult as you took care of everything, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, again for your caring hearts!! Blessings to each one of you! With Gratitude,
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.
