If something happened to you tomorrow…
would your kids know what to do?

Or would they be left with a mess?

And by “mess,” I don’t mean clutter or paperwork sitting in a drawer.

I mean:
• Emotional decisions made in shock
• Siblings disagreeing about what Mom or Dad would have wanted
• Adult children trying to compare prices while grieving
• Out-of-town kids scrambling to make arrangements over the phone
• Unexpected expenses pulling from savings

That’s the real mess.

Most families aren’t unprepared because they don’t care.
They’re unprepared because no one wants to talk about it.

But planning ahead changes everything.

It turns chaos into clarity.
It turns stress into a simple phone call.
It turns guessing into certainty.

Pre-planning isn’t about expecting something to happen.
It’s about protecting your children from having to figure it all out during the hardest week of their lives.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to leave my kids with a mess,”
this is your opportunity to handle it calmly and on your terms.

Message me “PLAN” and I’ll send you straightforward information.

I have seen families argue over $500 while grieving.

Pre-planning prevents that.

It removes stress from your children.

03/06/2026

If your children live in Austin, Dallas, or Houston…
Pre-planning is even more important.

They won’t be scrambling from 3 hours away.

You can handle it calmly now.

We believe families should compare prices.

Many cremation services in our area range from $2,500 to $3,000.

Wright’s Funeral Parlor: $1,550.

Same dignity.
Same legal process.
Local care.

Affordable does not mean cutting corners.
It means cutting unnecessary overhead.

Call anytime for a simple explanation of your options.

Let’s talk numbers.

Our simple direct cremation plan is $1550.

No packages.
No call center.
No upselling.

Local. Transparent. Simple.

That’s it.

There’s a season in life when we start thinking a little more intentionally about the future.

Not because we’re “old.”
Not because something is wrong.
But because we’re wise enough to know planning ahead matters.

Many of the families I serve tell me the same thing:
“I just don’t want my kids left with a mess.”

That’s really what advance planning is about.

It’s not about dwelling on death.
It’s about:
✔ Making your wishes clear
✔ Protecting your children from stress
✔ Locking in today’s costs
✔ Keeping things simple

If you’re in a stage of life where your kids are grown and you’ve handled most of your big responsibilities… this may simply be the next responsible step.

This month, I’m focusing on helping families take care of these decisions calmly — long before they’re needed.

If you’d like simple information (no pressure, just facts), send me a message that says “PLAN” and I’ll send it to you.

If something happened to you tonight…
Would your kids know your wishes?

Or would they be guessing in a hospital hallway?

Pre-planning isn’t about you.
It’s about protecting them.

Message me “PLAN” and I’ll send you simple information.

Before you sign up with a nationwide cremation company, ask:

Who will actually come to my home?
Where will my loved one be taken?
Will my family meet a funeral director in person?
Is there a local office?

Wright’s Funeral Parlor is physically located in Kerrville.

When you call us, you’re speaking to someone who lives here, works here, and serves your community.

Direct Cremation – $1,550

“What does $1,550 actually include?”

Great question.

🤍 Rooted in Faith. Rooted in Community.

As a funeral director and advance planning specialist at Wright’s Funeral Parlor, I have the honor of walking alongside families during some of the most sacred moments of their lives.

But outside of the funeral home, I’m also proud to be a member of First Christian Church here in Kerrville, where Josh deSteiguer serves as pastor.

Church has been such a steady place of encouragement, truth, and genuine community for me — and I’m grateful to worship in the same town where I serve families every day.

If you’ve been thinking about finding a church home, or maybe even just visiting one again, I would truly love to invite you to join me.

✨ Contemporary Worship – 8:30 AM
✨ Traditional Worship – 11:00 AM

If you’d ever like someone to sit with, walk in with, or simply answer questions — send a message. I’d be honored to meet you there.

Being part of this community isn’t just something I do on Sundays. It’s part of why I care so deeply about the families we serve.

Have you recently signed up for a cremation “package” with a nationwide company?

Take a closer look at what’s included.

Many families are surprised to learn that what’s being sold as a “simple package” can cost $2,800–$3,500+ for direct cremation with add-ons.

At Wright’s Funeral Parlor, our direct cremation is $1,550 — handled locally, professionally, and with personal service.

And yes — our plans can be honored nationwide too.

Before committing long-term to a corporate package, it’s worth comparing.

If you enrolled recently and are unsure about your decision, I’m happy to review your paperwork with you and explain your options.

No pressure. Just transparency.
