San Jacinto Memorial Park and Funeral Home

San Jacinto Memorial Park has been serving families of all faiths in the Houston area for over 50 years. Because San Jacinto Funeral Home is located on the grounds of the cemetery, we offer the convenience of providing all funeral and cemetery arrangements from one location. Our staff is available 24 hours a day, and we are easily accessible from the I-10 East Freeway and the Beltway 8. At San Jacinto Memorial Park and Funeral Home, we believe that every life is unique, and every funeral should be too. For those who want to plan their arrangements in advance, San Jacinto offers The Simplicity Plan® prearrangement program, an easy way to handle an important family responsibility. SAN JACINTO FUNERAL HOME At San Jacinto Funeral Home, you will find a warm environment and a dedicated, caring and professional staff. We're here to listen and provide options to meet your needs. Our funeral home is a full-service facility featuring two beautifully decorated visitation rooms to ensure the comfort of family members, and a chapel with seating for up to 175 guests. Whether you prefer cremation with a small family gathering or would like a large traditional funeral, you can trust us to assist you in planning and honoring your final wishes. Many families choose to personalize services for their loved ones, and we encourage you to bring photos and other mementos for display. A sound system is also available in the chapel to accommodate your musical selections, from CDs to an organist, vocalist, or other instrumentals. San Jacinto is proud to offer services that extend beyond your time of need. Several memorial programs are scheduled throughout the year for families to pay tribute to the memory of a loved one. These include Sunrise Services, a Memorial Dove Tree Program and a Memorial Day Service. SAN JACINTO MEMORIAL PARK Founded in 1947, San Jacinto Memorial Park offers many burial options including traditional ground burial, lawn crypts, mausoleum entombment and family estates. For those who choose cremation, you can arrange services through the cemetery's own off-site crematory. Cremation niches are available for memorialization, and two beautiful pavilions are located on the grounds for special graveside services.
