Our family

Two generations
under one roof.

"The families of East Texas have trusted us since 1934. We take that trust seriously — every call, every arrangement, every day." — T.L. Knighton Jr.

A quiet way of working

We do not sell.
We sit with people.

Most families come to us in the worst week of their lives. They do not need to be sold anything. They need someone to take the next call. Sign the next form. Open the next door.

That is the work. It has not changed since 1934.

Our directors are trained to listen first and offer second. No one is shown a price sheet before they are ready. The bill that arrives at the end is exactly the bill we quoted at the start. That has always been how the Knighton family does things.

The people who answer

Our staff.

Family-led and family-feeling. Everyone here understands that we are guests in the most private moments of a family's life.

Come meet us before you need to.

The best time to visit a funeral home is when nothing is wrong. Walk through, ask any question, leave when you like. No obligation.
