My sister is considering Darst Funeral Home, Kingwood Funeral Ho

Kittle :
Brookside is not who/what they used to be. A friend used them last year, and there were multiple issues. His family had used Brookside for decades and felt it was not of the same quality.

I have used Kingwood Funeral several times. We had a great experience with them. They don't sell you stuff you don't need.

ILoveReading :
Thank you. It is sad seeing a business decline in quality; Brookside has been there for decades. We used them in 2024 for two family funerals, one preplanned and one was not. Brookside did a great job and were easy to work with.

Thank you. Personal experience speaks. I have attended funerals at Kingwood but worked with them.

Kittle : Out of them all, Darst is DH's least fav to work with by a landslide. Everything takes them foreverrr to do. Mcnutt is the fastest and most thorough. If they're not an option, I'd recommend Brookside.

Kittle :
I had a very positive experience with Darst.

We went with Darst for both my mom and my brother. Both were a very good experience. Heard also good things about McNutt in Conroe. Not 100% certain if the spelling is correct on the second.

I've had good experiences at Darst and Rosewood.

Kittle : have attended several funerals at Dost, very nice, also Kingwood funeral home

Kittle :
I recently went to a memorial service at Kingwood funeral home. It was well done, facilities are very nice, staff was attentive. They had a catered lunch after the service. Not sure how costs compare and the body had been cremated.

Kittle : We cremated my Daddy at Darst. Nothing but great things to say. As horrible that experience can be, it was a beautiful ending. 😇❤️

We have mausoleum drawers at Brookside where everyone in my hubs family is at but I have been to other services there in the last year and was not impressed. I called both Kingwood and Rosewood and they indicated you could have services at their places and then have ashes taken to Brookside which is probably what we will do.

I had experience with Kingwood funeral home recently. They are woman managed and their attention to detail and care were a godsend. They have a beautiful room for the service, a wonderful sound system, and a side suite for the reception. They have very nice packages that I thought were reasonable that included everything that was needed.
