We were VOTED BEST IN CENTRAL TEXAS 2025!!! Thank you so much to our community for all your support!

10/28/2025

We wanted to share a few photos of our funeral home. There is much more to see in person, and it truly looks unlike anything else in Central Texas. We know a funeral home is never a place someone hopes to visit, but if you ever do walk through our doors, you will feel the heart behind every detail.

This was my mother’s dream after 35+ years serving families in Central Texas — and after 15 years of building our company, we have grown from the smallest to now the largest. Our chapel seats over 300, we have a full reception hall and kitchen, coffee bars, multiple family rooms, and screens throughout.

Thank you for loving us and supporting our dream.
Serving you on the most difficult days of your life is our greatest honor.

This weekend, we are honored to serve the family of the incredible Dr. Floyd “Lurry” Leavelle.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, proud veteran, and man of unwavering faith, Dr. Leavelle brought thousands of babies into the world and cared for generations of women across Central Texas with kindness and compassion.

Married for 61 years to his beloved wife Donna, together they created a beautiful legacy built on love, service, and family.

May his memory continue to inspire all who knew him. 💙
