Bryan TX Funeral and Cremation Center
"They let the sun shine through. When you walk in there are windows everywhere. It doesn't feel like a closed and dark funeral home. It is really moving here."
Kathy Ross Falcone
Funeral Home Client
Your family deserves the best, newest Funeral Center to pay tribute to those you love, at the most affordable pricing in the Brazos Valley.
Your family and guests will experience large spacious areas, towering ceilings, and oversized windows allowing natural sunlight to fill the space. Brand new beautiful furniture provides elegance and comfort to your family and all your guests.
Here are just a few of the many features of our new center
Parking
Close to 100 parking spaces including handicap. Convenient parking is available on all four sides of the funeral center. Stay dry when it’s raining by pulling under one of our 2 drive through porte-cocheres. Our entire parking lot is lit at night by large LED poles.
Bluebonnet Community Room
Seating for up to 300 guests comfortably with traditional seating. If your family prefers a banquet style set-up, we’ve got you covered with up to 20 banquet tables, and up to 7 guests at each table. Flat screen displays located throughout as well as our Life Immersion Video Wall. Our community rooms also offer your family the flexibility of a smaller room for families who prefer a smaller more intimate setting.
Magnolia Cremation Suite
Our serene, secure onsite cremation viewing area, with optional window view (open or closed), so you can be present in privacy when the cremation process is happening. Our 3rd Crematory, this one is located within our new cremation center. Your family may spend as much or as little time with your loved one prior to the cremation at no additional cost.
Receptions Celebrating Lives
Extends the experience of a personal and meaningful remembrance event into a time of food and sharing allowing family and friends to remember their loved one in a personal and inspired event celebration. These receptions are uniquely themed around the life story of the person being remembered. These take place on-site, in the funeral center’s Bluebonnet Community Room, or at other locations. Catering is available which comfortably seats up to 140 guests in a banquet style setting.
Themed Remembrance Events
Helps facilitate the sharing of memories and telling of a life story using themed visuals such as mementos, photo collages, props, softly playing music, and unique activities. Every detail is thoughtfully and uniquely utilized to share the individual story of a loved one’s life, creating a meaningful and personal experience.
Legacy Lounge
The Legacy Lounge is a separate area offering your family and guests a chance to sit and relax during visitation and other events, while enjoying coffee, juice, cookies, and other treats.
Welcoming Lobby
We offer the largest lobby space of any funeral home in Bryan College Station. Our lobby also easily accommodates overly large crowd gatherings during visitations, services, and other events. It’s also large enough to use as an overflow area. The lobby has a 90″ flat screen to show your loved one’s tribute video. Also, you won’t be able to miss our double sided fireplace with floor to ceiling stone.
Family Conversation Suites
Two Family Sized Conversation Suites. Our family conversation suites are spacious and the most comfortable of any local funeral home. Each suite comfortably sits 10 family members or more. When your family sits down with one of our directors, certified celebrants, or event experts, you won’t feel confined and pressured. These rooms are designed to lower the anxiety of your family and to increase the ability to plan a meaningful remembrance event within a warm, non-threatening environment. Using technology and a large screen format, families are able to participate in the arrangement conversation with access to all options and total transparency on products, services, and cost.
Certified Celebrant – Story Tellers
Our Certified Celebrant, or specially trained master storyteller, Dawn Lee Wakefield, presents a meaningful and personalized service that tells the life story of your loved one. A Storyteller leads the service and creates a beautiful remembrance event that captures the wonderful memories of a person’s life and can be the single officiant for the event or work alongside a member of the Clergy.
Technology
Free WiFi is offered throughout the funeral center thanks to multiple powerful wireless hotspots. Flat screens located throughout the facility allow guests to view Tribute Videos and services. Our Life Immersion Video Wall is a one of a kind display providing the perfect compliment to any Celebration of Life Ceremony with SuperHD Video Tributes and scenic backdrops.
Customer Reviews
Jim Williams
From the time we made the first call to Callaway-Jones until today, when I had additional questions, we have been extremely pleased with our choice to use Callaway-Jones for our son’s funeral. We want to express our appreciation to the entire staff, especially Marci Ramirez and Ricky Alderete, for everything you did for us. The leadership from Ricky and the kindness/guidance/ability to shift direction seamlessly we were shown from Marci were very helpful during this difficult time. This CJ team was quick to respond to our every need in a very caring, loving way. They patiently guided our every step and clearly provided the information needed to make decisions that were difficult for us. Our family wants to say thank you so much for all of their help. We will recommend Callaway-Jones to our family and friends.
Wanda McGill
I highly recommend Callaway-Jones. They took care of my dad 47 years ago when he passed. Mom wanted them to handle things when she passed so that's who we called. Marci Ramirez has been great! She cared about every aspect of the arrangements and worked with me on all the details. She made herself available to me any time I might need her. She is very professional while being our friend and understanding what we were going through with our mom's service. So thankful for this top-notch funeral center still being in our town. Thank you so much Marci!

Cody and his staff were wonderful with our family. They were patient, kind and understanding. Cody took the time to hear from all of us and fulfilled every wish we had for our mom's service. Cody was professional, yet felt like family.

Margaret thank you for taking the time to make our family feel special. Thank you for checking on my dad and making sure he was ok. You go above and beyond. Which we greatly appreciate. Margaret you have been such a blessing for our family. You are such a wonderful special person. We felt very comfortable with you from the first time we met you. Callaway-Jones is blessed to have you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You treated us like family. Our cup runneth over. I don’t know where to rate you and Callaway-Jones Funeral Home but I would tell you we are 100 percent satisfied and pleased.

Anne Boykin
From the moment I made the dreaded call to Callaway-Jones to the minute the Memorial Service was over, I was comforted in knowing that my every request was met with an instant “can do” amazing attitude.
Ricky Alderete and Anaili Hernandez were most professional and especially comforting to me. They made certain that my every concern disappeared and my every wish was granted. Anaili is a media genius and made the video presentation for my daughter absolutely beautiful.
When we arrived at the service, every detail was perfect. The photo gallery and the reception set up was beautiful! I would not have changed a thing. Patti Wade and Anaili saw to it that everything was on time and went as planned. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Our mother passed away very unexpectedly in early January of this year. My sister and I are very appreciative of the kind and compassionate staff at Callaway Jones. Our funeral director, Kristen was very easy to work with during a very upsetting time. Her professionalism and attention to detail were greatly appreciated by our family. It was a pleasure dealing with the staff as we planned and executed Mom’s memorial service. The passing of a loved one is difficult, but Kristen and staff helped to make it more bearable. Thank you.

Marci and the staff at Callaway-Jones were very kind, caring and personable. My family and I felt like we were more like family than clients. Marci was there to console and guide us through this very difficult time. Glad we chose them lay our mom to rest.
