My experience with Meadowlawn staff and my Funeral Director Whitney was absolutely the best.
At such a difficult time in my life Whitney was not only compassionate and understanding but went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. She listened to every detail about my wants for My Mother's service.
Overwhelmed with appreciation, gratitude. Meadowlawn gave me peace of mind at one of the most toughest time of my life. Our funeral director Rachel Garcia made sure all our needs were meet, helping coordinate everything giving my mother the absolute best service she could have.
During the most difficult time of my life, Elizabeth was very compassionate and had patience at every point of contact I/we had with her. When entering the funeral home everyone was friendly and very professional.
I just had a very spiritual and enlightening experience with funeral director. (Ms R Garcia) She is very competent and professional. She worked with me since early morning hours. I am so grateful for every minute I spent with her She was very quick at resolving several issues we had and she was very fast at getting things done. Not only is she very professional, she is also very compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about the business.
Meadowlawn far exceeded our expectations. Their candor and grace were reassuring during my mother's passing. We had a small issue with a previous employee that was fully rectified. Mary's Garden was a beautiful option for our loved ones.
Words cannot express the gratitude we have for the staff at Meadowlawn. From the day our Mom made her pre-needs selection to the day of her final arrangements, we felt confident that we made the right choice. Sherrie’s compassion and professionalism gave us the comfort to feel Mom’s service was planned and handled with love.
Truly Thank You to Whitney, along with all included staff, at MeadowLawn Memorial and Kathy with the Aftercare program with all support regarding my loved ones arrangements and services. My family and I are very appreciative of your professionalism and sympathy during these times.
My family received excellent service and respect throughout this process. Ms. Watson was able to anticipate our needs before we knew what came next. I received comments from individuals on the program that Whitney called them by name and showed them where to go, etc. I second guessed myself which showed I was stressed. Ms. Watson asked me what I wanted to do and don’t worry about anyone else. This was huge! I felt so relieved after that I was then able to complete the task. I would also like to mention Raymond and Sam for their professionalism as well as Ms. Watson. Thanks
My husband and I would like to thank MeadowLawn Funeral home from the bottom of our hearts for going above and beyond to make Belo, our retired Military Working Dog’s passing services as smooth as they possibly could’ve been. Rachel Garcia took very good care of us and made me feel right at home and helped me cope with his passing. They did exactly what we wanted. We are blessed to have ended up meeting such wonderful people who show you they truly do care about you and understand what you are going through. I can not emphasize more how grateful we are for taking care of his services for us. We appreciate you and truly could not have chosen a better place for him.
Greetings from the Lee & Todd Families! We would like to extend our sincere THANKS to MeadowLawn Funeral Home!

Your staff was so patience with us and we greatly appreciate everything! Special Thank you to Erika Reyes for taking time out of her day off to insure that the Cremation service was flawless!!!! Blessings, Bobby & Shelia Lee
My family and I send our sincere gratitude to the staff at MeadowLawn for helping us get through an extremely difficult time as smoothly as possible. We were so disheartened with other establishments we visited before finding Rachel and Ray with MeadowLawn. They were respectful of our wishes and really gave us a sense of security that they would handle things appropriately and allow us the space to give our attention to family. Everyone we encountered was genuine, comforting and committed to making sure the service met our expectations. Even beyond that, the tapestry blanket they did to commemorate my mother was so unexpected and appreciated. It was that level of personal attention that we felt so compelled to comment on.
Yesterday, I purchased my 5th cremation policy from Elaine Edwards when I went to pick up my sisters ashes from Miriam Garcia. These 2 ladies are the reason. They Both are caring, informative, and considerate ladies that make this process easier. I truly have appreciated both of them in the help they extended to me over the last several years. Thanks to both of them, they are exceptional ladies!!
On behalf of the Palomo family I want to say thank you to the entire staff at MeadowLawn for the compassion, empathy, and caring, they showed to our family during the loss of our beloved mom. The service on Saturday, August 3, 2019, was beautiful and noteworthy because of MeadowLawn's commitment to service and professionalism it contributed to a dignified memorial service. A special thank you for Mr. Betancourt for his professionalism and his attention to detail on the day of the service and I would also like to acknowledge Ms. Elizabeth Jimenez for her professionalism, compassion, and guidance in helping us plan the memorial service. The service provided exceeded our expectations! A heartfelt thank you to everyone!
On behalf of the Chapman Family, I want to thank MeadowLawn for the funeral and burial services that was provided on behalf of our mother, Ms. Billie V. Wells. Most noteably, Ms. Rachel Garcia's (Funeral Director) professionalism and knowledge guided and facilitated our efforts with ensuring that our mother was laid to rest respectfully and with dignity and class. There was absolutely no pressure placed on my family and I as she guided us through the various packages and options that MeadowLand had to offer. Her efforts were extremely noted as she facilitated the funeral ceremony and directed the burial process at graveside. She is surely a value-added member of the MeadowLawn team. I would recommend MeadowLawn to any Family seeking a professional, prompt, respectful, and courteous funeral home for their loved one. Thank you Ms. Garcia. You come highly regarded and recommended. v/r Kenneth M. Chapman Major Retired United States Air Force.
On Behalf of the Moreno Family I want to give a BIG Thank You to Ms. Kerri for holding our hand when we came to get things situated for “Honey” and a BIG Thank You to Ms. Rachel for walking us through the whole process for being compassionate caring and considerate of My Poppas feelings throughout this difficult time. You treated us like family and I truly appreciate that!! I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making this whole situation less stressful!!
From the family of Margaret Kittinger, I want to thank all the staff at MeadowLawn for their personal compassionate and caring service. My mother chose to take advantage of preparing ahead of time to save her children the added stress of planning things after she had passed. While still painful, what a tremendous weight it lifted off our shoulders when she did pass away. To the entire staff, staff from the agent that came to our home to help with the prearrangement, to the crew that came to get Mom when she passed, and the office staff that helped with the last of the paperwork......on behalf of my sisters and I, a very heartfelt thank you.

When tomorrow starts without me And I am not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place is ready, In heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do. It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I’d say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But Then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great golden throne, He said, “This is eternity, And all I’ve promised you.” Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow But today will always last, And since each day’s the same way There’s no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn’t do. But you have been forgiven And now at last you’re free. So won’t you come and take my hand And share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we are far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart. Author unknown…
Dancing with the Father basking in his light- I commend you with honor for putting up such a noble fight. Dancing with the Father basking in his glory- I commend you with love for living & telling His story. So rest in peace my dear Uncle- for I know you’re in a better place. And one day soon I will see you again- I will see you face-to-face. Love, Jennifer Jennifer Rankin Aug 17, 2006 Plainview, TX
In Loving memory of my brother Jerry…I’m going to miss him dearly. Julie…my heart goes out to you, because I know you’ve just lost the love of your life and there’s an emptiness that we can’t fill…just remember the love he had for you…and he will always be with you in your heart. Love, Margie Margie Brigman Aug 17, 2006 Abilene, T
Jerry, You are my hero! You endured w/dignity a 5 yr battle that, w/all of this world’s docs & scientists, should be won by now; your battle with cancer. I love you & I’m so glad I was able to come & spend precious time w/you in June. I wish I could have gotten to know you even better than I did because you were such an interesting guy to me. For Julie, and for those who are still here, I wrote this poem for Jerry awhile back & want to share it as it should be how we live our lives….REMEMBER TO EXPERIENCE -the sunsets of purple, pink, the butterflies that fly in front of you; the fireflies that light the summer sky at night; a little child’s enjoyment out of just flying a kite; the smell & sound of a refreshing summer rain; the sense of accomplishment when you exercise your brain; the sight & smell of a freshly baked pie; the love you feel when you look in Julie’s eyes; the beauty of a furry little kitten; the memory of sledding in winter & wearing your favorite mittens; REMEMBER the things that mean the most & forget about the rest! I will love you always Jerry. And Julie, you were such a joy to Jerry and I know he cherished his time w/you. Love to you both, your little sister, Jackie
Jerry – I only knew you through the love, prayer, and concern of your sister, Jackie, but it is clear to me that you were courageous, a fighter, and a role model for how to live with dignity to all around you. I am so glad that Jackie was able to spend time with you and to be able to say good-bye. May God bless you in this world to come, and may God bless Julie and your extended family.
I know from talking with Jackie of the fight you waged and the pain you endured. I feel certain that you felt blessed in your last days to have Jackie as your caring and loving sister. It is through her that I knew of your struggles. Godspeed to you and blessings to your family.
Uncle Jerry, Thank you for showing me that there is a way to be wise, caring, thoughtful, tolerant, disciplined and fun, all rolled into one! You were an artist and a scientist, a rare breed of mind, heart, and soul. I can only aspire to be someone like you… Your nephew, Emilio Manzano
