The planning process should be straight-forward and uncomplicated; we will take as much time as needed to thoroughly answer of all your questions. Our commitment to you will not end with the burial or cremation of your loved one; we will be available to you at all times even after the immediate need has passed. Whenever possible, the deceased should be present at the funeral, even when choosing cremation, and funerals should be affordable.
Services
Joseph J. Earthman, funeral director, founder, and fourth-generation funeral service provider, has worked in every aspect of funeral service since 1992.

Having started his career in the family business as a member of the grounds crew at Earthman Resthaven Cemetery in Houston, Texas, Mr. Earthman also worked as a general staff member and funeral director for Earthman Funerals under the ownership of the Loewen Group, then the Alderwoods Group, and finally SCI, until 2008.
Funerals honor the dead, but the healing process that starts with a funeral service is for the living. Funerals are for families who want either cremation or burial. A funeral marks a moment when we pause our daily life activity, whether it's work, social media, or other family obligations, to mourn as a community of family and friends, and to say good-bye to someone we knew and loved.
Most of us plan for the possible, the potential misfortunes of life that seldom actually happen. Why not gain some peace of mind by planning for the inevitable - your final expenses? You'll get the peace of mind that comes with planning ahead, and your family will be saved the financial burden when you're gone.

I was not aware of the ins and outs of making funeral preparations for loss of a loved one. My daughter had been in home hospice for a few months, but I never had the courage to look into making funeral arrangements while she still lived. Joseph J. Earthman Generations was the best call we made upon my daughter's passing. Joseph answered the phone himself. He is soft spoken, patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and took the time to educate us about funeral arrangements, the terminology, the process, and was upfront with the costs without pushing to make business

Debbie and Joseph did a wonderful job on my father's funeral service. From the first interactions with them, I could tell they deeply care for their clients. Debbie always responded quickly with the questions that I could only think of in the middle of the night. And without fail, the answer to any question I had was always something like "yes, you absolutely can do that" or "of course, that would be a lovely gesture." Their guidance through a difficult time was invaluable. Even people who attended the funeral commented on how nice both Debbie and Joseph were.

Debbie, Joseph and Fred did a wonderful service for my mother in law on short notice. Their care, attention to detail and genuine concern for the ceremony and our wishes were met and exceeded expectations. During a tough time they were very professional and steady for us.

Joseph went way above and beyond for our family during the hardest time of our lives. From explaining the cremation process start to finish, to personally helping the doctor through the online death certificate process, he made the process as simple as possible for us, allowing us to focus on our family and grieving. Joseph was very responsive and kept us in the loop since things were still in COVID lockdown. All our interactions from beginning to end were with Joseph directly.
No one wants to think about funeral services, but the reality is that we will almost all be in the position of having

Fantastic people that won't break the bank. After calling literally EVERY funeral home in the greater Houston area, Joseph J Earthman Generations was the clear choice in service, quality and price. Joseph, himself, actually answers the phone.
In a time of immense tragedy, Joseph and his team embodied genuine humanity. Our family dynamic was unconventional and at times contentious. Despite numerous challenges and setbacks, Joseph was consistent in his availability and flexibility to make this process as easy as possible. From start to finish Joseph and his team were incredibly accommodating.

Joseph Earthman leads a special family owned and operated funeral business. There is no hype, no selling pressure, no exploitation of grieving. Instead, there is only a serenity, simplicity and clarity of the necessary processes, procedures, administrative issues and, simply said, care, of these who are deeply hurting at a most difficult period in their lives.
Situated in the Rice Military/Crestwood area of Houston, his establishment is easily accessed, simply and elegantly presented. His welcome is warm and understanding.
I recommend Joseph J Earthman Generations family funeral service unreservedly

My mother had a terminal illness, and I was in a fog. My brother came town to help me make arrangements, and Joseph made himself immediately available. Unlike our other experiences, Joseph did not try to "sell" us anything. Instead, he served as a reliable and competent resource for all of our planning. He was so genuine and personally warm, that I felt comforted in my time of great stress and grief. If I could give a person/business more than 5 stars, I would. Even if you don't live near his office, he can accommodate you. I cannot recommend him more highly.

5 years ago my husband took his life after several years of mental illness and prescription drug abuse. It was a Sunday and I was desperately searching for a church / funeral home. We called Joseph on Sunday afternoon and surprisingly he met us at his office an hour later. I told him we were Catholic but had not been practicing for several years. He said he attended St Theresa Catholic Church in Memorial park and took care of arranging the contacts for a Rosary and Funeral with my husbands body there and then, cremation. It turned out as perfect as I could imagine due to the circumstances. I would

Joseph Earthman and all the staff at Joseph J Earthman Generations provided the most sincere support for our family and friends when we have called on them for funeral arrangements. We are remarkably impressed with their attention to detail and they guided us through our time of hardship without flaw. Their professionalism is exemplary. They handled every task with the most delicate fashion - going above and beyond the call of duty to comfort and ease during one of life's toughest times. I will definitely continue to recommend their services to families in their time of need.

It's a difficult time for families while dealing with the death of a loved one. I met Joseph Earthman the day before my father-in-law's funeral and I knew right away that everything was going to be ok. Joseph sat with us at a table and it felt like he was a member of our family. He discussed the arrangements with us and was so helpful that we couldn't have ask for anything better for our loved one. Joseph was right there with us from the funeral, to the service and then to the grave site. He was personally involved with the entire service. Joseph went above and beyond for us.He is a kind, honest
