Bixby- South Tulsa Funeral Service & Crematory

11/11/2025

Sometimes life gets busy, and before you know it, weeks or even months have passed since someone you know lost a loved one. You might wonder if it’s too late to say something. The truth is, it’s never too late to show you care. Grief doesn’t end after the funeral. People still need kindness, comfort, and reminders that they’re not alone. A simple message like “I’ve been thinking of you” or “I’m sorry I didn’t reach out sooner” can mean a lot. What matters most is your sincerity and the care behind your words. Taking a moment to reach out can bring comfort, even long after the loss.

Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things you’ll ever go through. Grief can leave you feeling tired, sad, and unsure how to keep going. That’s why taking care of yourself is so important. It’s not selfish—it’s part of healing. Eat healthy meals, get some rest, and spend time outdoors when you can. Talk to someone who listens without judgment, whether it’s a friend, family member, or support group. Even small acts of self-care, like taking a walk or reading a favorite book, can bring comfort. Give yourself grace and patience as you move through grief. Healing takes time, and that’s okay.

When a child loses someone they love, it can be hard to know what to say or do. The best thing you can do is be there. Let them talk, cry, ask questions, or sit quietly if that’s what they need. Every child grieves in their own way, and that’s okay. Keeping routines helps kids feel safe when life feels confusing. Sometimes, a hug or just being close means more than words. Families in Tulsa and Bixby can find help through local programs like Calm Waters, Family & Children’s Services, and The Tristesse Grief Center. Bixby Funeral Service can connect you with caring people who understand what your family is going through.

Life is a collection of moments, big and small. At Bixby Funeral Service, we believe each of those moments deserves to be remembered. Every smile, every story, and every gesture becomes part of a life’s unique legacy, and our role is to help families celebrate that legacy with care.

No two lives are the same, and neither should be the services that honor them. We take the time to listen, learn, and understand what made your loved one special. From the music that moved them to the traditions they cherished, from the photos that capture their spirit to the gathering that feels right for your family, we customize every detail to reflect the life lived.

Some families prefer a quiet, intimate service.

Others envision a warm celebration filled with stories, laughter, and favorite memories. Whether the setting is traditional or modern, large or small, our approach remains the same: thoughtful planning, compassionate guidance, and personalization at every step.

When you choose Bixby Funeral Service, you are choosing more than a ceremony. You are choosing a partner who will walk with you, making sure the service feels authentic, meaningful, and full of dignity.

Every life is one of a kind, and the way we honor it should be too.

We believe every life has a story worth sharing. Our role is to help you tell that story in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and true to the one you love.

We begin by listening. Every memory you share, every piece of music that mattered, and every tradition that carries weight becomes part of the service we design together. By weaving these elements into the ceremony, we create more than an event, we create a story that honors the life lived and the love they leave behind.

Some stories are best told through quiet reflection. Others are best told through laughter, favorite songs, and shared memories. Whatever the shape of your loved one’s story, our team guides you with compassion and care, making sure each detail adds to the whole picture of who they were.

Your loved one’s story deserves to be told with warmth and dignity. At Bixby, we are here to help you share it in a way that will be remembered forever.

Every life is a story filled with unique moments and memories. We believe the best way to ensure your story is told the way you want is by planning ahead. Pre-need planning gives you the opportunity to share your wishes, record the details that matter most, and make choices that reflect the life you have lived.

By planning in advance, you give your family a gift of clarity and peace. Instead of wondering what you would have wanted, they can focus on remembering, sharing, and honoring your life.

Preneed planning also allows you to make financial decisions ahead of time, easing the burden on your loved ones during a difficult season.

Our team will walk with you through every step, listening carefully and helping you create a plan that feels true to your story. From the music and readings to the setting and style of service, every choice becomes part of a thoughtful plan that reflects the life you want remembered.

At Bixby, we believe that telling your story with care begins long before the day of the service.

Preneed planning ensures your wishes are honored and your family is supported, so your legacy can be celebrated with dignity and love.
