“Callaway Jones was caring, kind and helpful when it came to my husband’s mother’s memorial. They take of details which most of us are unfamiliar with, and personalize the memorial pamphlet, created a background for our service, transported all flowers to the College Station cemetery, had chairs and a tent set up for the comfort of our elder family members. Amelia was our key point person and did an exceptional job, working extra to upload our photos. We feel so at peace with the sweetness and care they provided.”
“Our family would like to share our deepest gratitude for the team at Callaway-Jones, and especially our Aftercare Estate Specialist Erin for their supportive attentiveness, attention to detail, and assistance provided to our family as we prepared our dad’s celebration of life ceremony. Erin went above-and-beyond to ensure our dad's service was special (e.g., scheduled actual Marines to present the flag for my mother during Taps), responded to texts and emails (when she should have been offline), and much, much more. Erin made our family feel special, recognized, and cared for at one of the most difficult times of our lives. The team at Callaway-Jones did a beautiful job artfully arranging our dad’s belongings and artifacts for the service, created a personalized guestbook, a beautiful picture montage video, and high quality program, and more—in a very short timeframe. Our family unequivocally recommends Callway-Jones to other families who are searching for a funeral home and crematory as they will personalize your experience and provide you comfort and the upmost care.”
