Your Comfort and Convenience – Our Priority

One of the ways our staff at Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home shows support to the Houston families we serve is by helping them feel as relaxed and cared for as possible – in every way possible. Clearly, this motivated McFarlin Pierre International LLC when they opened Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home in 2021, and it’s still our priority today. Some view the end of a loved one’s life as a time to grieve and mourn, but we see it as so much more. A meaningful funeral or memorial service provides the opportunity for reflection, appreciation, and even celebration. This is evident in everything we do, from how we honor life to the amenities we offer.

The newest way we go the extra mile for families who walk through our doors is by installing electronic charging stations. We know the time following a loved one’s death is often filled with phone calls, texts, and other attempts to communicate with family and friends. We also know how often connections are made via cell phones, smart watches, tablets, and laptops. This addition to our facility provides a tangible way to make things a little bit easier for our families. We can’t tell you how often we’ve seen the stress on someone’s face as they make arrangements via phone calls and texts – only to have their phone battery drain. We knew installing a charger would save families time and stress, so that’s exactly what we did.

We try to think of every way to make hard times less difficult. Consider the beauty of our funeral home itself. With the help of professional decorators, we’ve created a beautiful and comfortable environment for families to gather. The soothing colors, sophisticated yet comfortable décor, and acres of nature provide an environment where people can relax, take a deep breath, and find quiet joy.

We want you to know we are committed to helping you through a difficult time. We want you to feel welcomed and comfortable . . . always. Come visit us at our Houston location or reach out to us with questions anytime. It is our pleasure and passion to meet the needs of area families, including yours.

For many Houston families who have lost a loved one, this time of year proves especially difficult. The parties, music, and decorations meant to bring joy instead are painful reminders of how life used to be. The sadness feels sadder; the loneliness runs deeper. Our staff at Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home recognizes that supporting those who are grieving is crucial during the holidays – and we’re here to do just that.

You can visit us at our Houston location or contact us anytime with questions about connecting with grief resources. We’ve also gathered these tips for you if you’re wondering how you’ll make it through the next month or two without your loved one by your side. Please remember this: Grief is a process. No matter how you feel at the moment, working through your loss will help you in the long run.

Set realistic expectations for yourself. If the thought of attending the local tree-lighting ceremony or celebrating another tradition feels unbearably painful, permit yourself to sit it out. You don’t have to try and please everyone as you navigate new – and challenging – emotions.

It’s okay to feel sadness, anger, happiness, and joy. Enjoying yourself doesn’t mean you’ve forgotten your loved one or diminish how much you miss them. Sharing laughter and fun memories by telling stories and looking at photo albums can be a natural source of comfort and bring a smile during an otherwise difficult time.

Accept help. After someone dies, those around you may want to step in and help but often feel uncomfortable and don’t know what to say or do. If someone reaches out to you – and offers to bring a meal, go shopping together, or help you decorate – consider saying yes, even if it feels awkward. You never know how these experiences might help you heal.

Remind yourself that this year is different. Holidays magnify how much your loss has changed your life. Little reminders of your loved one pop up everywhere when you least expect it. It’s all right to have strong reactions. It’s normal for some days to be better than others. And it’s perfectly acceptable to take it easy and acknowledge there is no right or wrong way to celebrate the holidays after losing someone close to you.

Take care of yourself. While it may bring temporary comfort, avoid turning to alcohol or other forms of self-medication when you’re feeling significantly down. Instead, get the rest, exercise, and nourishment you need. If you want to be around other people, seek them out. If you crave time alone, honor that.

Whether you lost a loved one years ago or attended their funeral in recent weeks, consider tapping into our grief support resources. From online counseling services to grief support information to interactive videos, the help you need maybe just a click away. If you would benefit from a daily dose of encouragement, sign up for daily emails to deliver hope and motivation to your inbox each morning.
