Making Arrangements

Rituals and ceremonies help each family express their deepest feelings and thoughts about some of life’s most important events. A funeral is no different. Most funerals help to fulfill these three things: 

1) Funeral services allow us to honor and pay tribute to the individual who has died. Together family and friends can remember the life of their loved one.

2) Funeral services serve as a final goodbye to the physical presence of a loved one in our daily lives. It helps mark a difficult change that we will have to accept.

3) Funeral services serve as an opportunity to support each other. Funerals act as a central gathering place for people to mourn the loss together. Grief is very difficult to deal with, but dealing with it on your own makes it even worse.

One of our main missions at Richard Funeral Home is giving your loved one a final tribute they deserve. Contrary to common belief, funeral services are not all the same. They can take on many different formats and styles. We can plan and execute funeral ceremonies that follow very traditional practices to those that take on less formal, more unique styles. We work with you to create the funeral service that best honors your loved one’s life, allows the best way for you to say goodbye, meets your family's specific wishes, and fits within your financial budget. 

We offer a lot of customization, and for the most part we can meet every specific detail you want. Additionally, we pride ourselves on providing some of the most affordable funeral services in Austin. We know how scary and overwhelming funeral costs can be. That is why we have done our best to ensure every family can afford to give their loved one a memorable and proper goodbye.
