Forest Lawn Funeral Home

We were exceptionally pleased with all aspects of my Dad's funeral. It was a difficult situation since my Dad was in memory care in Plano but had lived their entire lives in Houston for 90 years. Forest Lawn arranges for pick-up of my Dad's body very quickly after he passed even though we had not finalized our arrangements. The entire staff was kind, conscientious & very accommodating!!! Tom even arranged for a 21 gun salute with a Marine Honor Brigade since my Dad was a WWII Marine. Tom & staff took care of everything & made this very difficult less stressful. An extremely well-run family owned funeral home that still maintains the "family touch". Thank you, Tom, for everything you did for our family!! There is a special place in Heaven for folks like you!

Becky and everyone there made things so wonderful during the process of laying my mother to rest! So many special requests were asked of them and they did every single one! From the beginning to the very end Becky stood by our sides, from our first meeting to the graveside service Becky and forest lawn funeral home were there 💯%! My mom looked so beautiful and gorgeous! She was treated with loving care and respect! We all were as a family and the many ppl that attended my mother's services! Every single person complimented of how awesome the service and how much they loved the way things were conducted! Once again shout out to Becky, Sabrina, Chris, Melissa (both of them) and Tommy! Everyone at Forest Lawn Funeral home showed so much love! I wish I could show it back ten fold!

We cannot even begin to thank Tom and all his wonderful staff for helping us thru this difficult time in our father's passing. Sabrina and Chris were angel's of compassion and made this process so at ease. Everyone was so kind, gentle and caring and we appreciate everyone from the bottom of our hears. - The Lopez Family

Forest Lawn Home was absolutely amazing. Everyone was so kind, gentle and caring; especial Tom, the owner. They truly listened to the little details we wanted to express to our brother. We had the pleasure of working with Sabrina, she always asked if there was anything else she could do for us. We bombarded her with texts and hundreds of picture for a memorial video. She never said it was too many or too late. She made us feel warm and comforted during the sad time.

Many thanks to Tom, Hector and Elizabeth for their support during my father’s passing. They treat you with respect and walk you thru the process from A-Z. Reasonable prices compared to other 3 places I checked with before making a decision to go with Forest Lawn Funeral home. Will definitely call them again when needed.

Forest Lawn Funeral services were very helpful, and accommodating to our family during an extremely hard time. I highly recommend this Funeral home.

I highly recommend Forest Lawn Funeral Home. They provided an amazing service. A lot of my family members have been through Tom's doors for services. Everybody was very helpful and respectful. Very considerate of the pain we were going through and patient with me to answer all my questions and take very good care of me in my time of grief. I truly appreciate Tom Darst Jr. and the Forest Lawn Funeral Home Family.

Forest Lawn Funeral has a very special place in my family’s heart we have used their service twice and both times have been excellent. Just a month a ago, my grandfather passed and from the moment we reached out to them their service felt carring and compassionate. It just took couple of hours for my grandfather to be picked up from the hospital and the next day we were able to be seen for our appointment first thing in the morning. Mr. Tom, the owner a person of great heart and his staff took care of us and made this hard time less hard for our grief. Hector, helped is through the process and patiently answered our questions to also make the arrangements to transport to Mexico. The day of the service the staff was very helpful welcoming our guests and also very attentive. Elizabeth and Mr.Tom have also reached out to us to check on how we are doing. I would recommend Forest Lawn Funeral to anyone!!

Forest Lawn funeral home was amazing. All staff was so patient and kind. The service was beautiful. I will recommend this FH to everyone I know.

Tom and his staff were so wonderful during such a hard time in my life. Coordinating a funeral is not easy but any detail I missed they took care of it for me and made sure it was done with care. I can not express my gratitude enough for this wonderful staff. I will always recommend Forest Lawn

I have had a wonderful experience with this Forest Lawn Funeral Home given the circumstance. Everyone on the staff is exceptionally caring and accommodating. They made this process so much easier. I am very happy that our family chose Forest Lawn for my grandmother's service.

Thank you Forest Lawn Funeral Home Staff/Family for the peaceful and memorable service you had for my brother Omar Eric Chavez.

My experience with Forest Lawn funeral home was exceptional. I have nothing but good things to say about Tom and his team Sabrina ,Elizabeth and the entire team were outstanding. They helped me through a difficult time and made it a lot easier for me to deal with. My family and I have known Tom Darst and his Father for at least 30yrs . I will continue my business with them in the future. Thanks again everyone at Forest Lawn Funeral Home. 6 Stars not five.

Through our tough time with our Grandma passing away Forest Lawn Funeral Home helped us make the process easier. They were very supportive caring and guided us through the process and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much from our bottom of our hearts for everything y’all done for us. Our Loving Grandma and Mother Ramona Palacios is resting in peace. Beloved by all her kids grandchildren and family whom she left behind.

The entire staff here has surpassed anything I have ever seen, this is a family and they treat you as such. Mr. Tom did my brothers funeral when I was a young girl and now my mothers recently. The patience everyone had with me was incredible. I went to a few places looking for what could fit my budget and it’s sickening how everywhere you go it’s a business, especially when you just want to curl up in a ball and cry because of your loss, but not here. The flowers, the chapel (not sure if that’s the right term for it) the make up, the small details just were everything, the intimacy of the space the softness of it was comfortable and cozy. Very personal. It’s like home and the staff made everything so much more tolerable to bare. Tom , Sabrina , Elizabeth, Chris, and everyone was just amazing. I’m very thankful to God and may they continue to help others navigate through loss, I can’t imagine that job is easy.

Thank you Forest Lawn funeral Home

My Son Omar was well taken care of. Let begin by saying that all the business was well taken care of in a very professional manner. The arrangements were done swiftly and professionally. I was not in my right frame of mind to handle all that was involved. I must say that all the employees that were involved did an awesome job. My Son looked like he was asleep. His hair and beard were trimmed. I thank you.

Forest Lawn Funeral Home has blessed my family. In a time of grief, they comforted my family by making the process smooth and stress free. Their staff was very warm and walked us through every decision with patience. Long after the funeral, Forest Lawn staff has reached out to us providing comfort. I thank them for making an emotionally difficult time, so much easier. Thank you for being a blessing.

I would like to take the time to share the experience we had with Forest Lawn Funeral home. My mother passed away on May 31, 2022 and we were introduced to Joe Garcia with Forest Lawn Funeral Home and he was a blessing to us. The experience we had with not having to worry with any of my mom's arrangements other than to attend the funeral was all we could ask for. They kept in touch with both my family and I giving us ideas of what we could do and add to the service . The extras ,the planning, the attention we were given was extremely a gift from God.No one wants to ever face a loss of a loved one and no one wants to worry about what steps need to be taken to make the best of their loved ones funeral .I would highly recommend Mr. Garcia and Forest Lawn Funeral Home to anyone needing peace of mind as they lay their loved one in their final resting place.
