Bexar County provides a simple, respectful, and dignified service for families with no funding for a funeral and burial service. Families with a life insurance policy, pre-need agreement with a funeral home or have purchased a cemetery plot are not eligible for assistance. This program does not give financial support to help with funeral/burial agreements already made. All honorably discharged veterans or eligible spouses can be buried at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery if eligible.

Individuals that may qualify for assistance are:

• Deceased individual living in Bexar County 30 days prior to death.
• Having died of natural causes
• With no life insurance
• Without a pre-need with a funeral home
• Without having purchased a cemetery plot

The next of kin will be charged a $20.00 fee payable to the contracted funeral home.

We understand that making the many decisions which come at a time of loss can be difficult. We offer our support by providing you with two options as you consider making immediate arrangements.

Cremation Services:

Since 2012 our funeral home has owned and operated our own state-of-the-art, on-site crematory. What this means to you and your family is that your loved one never has to be transferred to a third party to be cremated. All funeral homes offer cremation services however not all own their own crematory. We feel the best way to serve our families would be by offering complete cremation services while keeping your loved one in our care. Our facility offers families the option of a viewing room or witness room.
