My husband and I shared the grief with my sister when her husband suddenly passed. the genuine care and consideration of the Rest Haven funeral team was truly appreciated. Tom, Jonathan, and Melinda all went above and beyond to ensure our family was carried through this painful process. I highly recommend this funeral home when life deals a heavy hand. They will carry you through and allow space to heal.

During the hardest time of my life Brenda and Liz have been so helpful. They have been patient, warm, kind, and caring when we didn’t even know where to begin. My family can’t thank the two of you enough for helping us get through this season.

Rest Haven in Rowlett and Rockwall was incredibly kind, compassionate, and helpful throughout the entire process, from planning and preparations to my father’s final burial. Jonathan and Jamie were especially wonderful with my mother, showing her such patience, kindness, and care during an incredibly difficult time.
My parents were married for 77 years, so laying Daddy to rest was incredibly hard, but Rest Haven helped make his service and burial a beautiful and meaningful tribute to his life.
Thankfully, my parents had the foresight to purchase their burial plots about 10 years ago, at a substantially lower cost than today. I highly recommend pre-planning and paying for as many funeral and burial expenses as possible in advance. When the difficult day comes, you can allow the caring professionals at Rest Haven to take over the details of the service and burial, giving your family the time and space to simply grieve and be together.
Our family is truly grateful for the kindness and compassion we received. I highly recommend Rest Haven.

You all at Rest Haven were just what we needed as we made arrangements for our mother. Meegan and Claudia are tender-hearted, caring and professional. They definately helped make the process easier for us. They feel like part of the family now.

My family and I are grateful for all that was done to accommodate us.
They assisted us with options for my husband’s cremation. Everything was prepared for our review and they made sure we were comfortable during our meeting.
Incredible staff and I recommend that people take time to prepare for their future. Rest Haven in Rockwall is a perfect place.

Bring the following information to complete the State vital statistic requirements:
✓ Birthplace
✓ Father's Name
✓ Mother's Name
✓ Social Security Number
✓ Veteran's Discharge or Claim Number
✓ Education
✓ Marital Status
Contact your clergy. Decide on time and place of funeral or memorial service. This can be done at the funeral home.
The funeral home will assist you in determining the number of copies of the death certificates you will be needing and can order them for you.
Make a list of immediate family, close friends and employer or business colleagues. Notify each by phone.
Decide on appropriate memorial to which gifts may be made (church, hospice, library, charity or school).
Gather obituary information you want to include such as age, place of birth, cause of death, occupation, college degrees, memberships held, military service , outstanding work, list of survivors in immediate family. Include time and place of services. The funeral home will normally write article and submit to newspapers (newspaper will accept picture and they will be returned intact).
Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
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.
