Since our first location opened we have grown to five chapels in three locations to serve the Houston and surrounding areas.

As industry leader, we specialize in the transport of human remains within and outside the United States. Our commercial embalming establishment, International Embalming Services enables us to provide efficient and economical transport services.

The Santana family has provided the Houston area and especially the East End community with affordable dignified services through our relationship with Evergreen and Friends Cemetery.

Our first funeral home located at 401 SSgt Macario Garcia Drive, in Houston’s East End, is centrally located near downtown Houston, in the Magnolia area, and is in close proximity to the Denver Harbor, Galena Park, South Houston, downtown, mid-town and the Houston Medical Center.
