Johnson Funeral Home was founded by the late Fred C. and Bessie L. Johnson in Houston, Texas in 1934. After many years as a grave digger and a few years as the owner of Dickinson Funeral Home in Dickinson, Texas circa 1931-1934, the Johnson's opened a facility in the Third Ward section of Houston at the corner of Pierce and Dowling.
Fred and Bessie recognized that in order to grow, they would have to provide extraordinary service to the community. That knowledge for years was reflected in the motto, "We Will go to Extra Lengths to Serve You". Our Founders did exactly that, and were blessed to have the city respond to that service.

Johnson Funeral Home is centrally located at 5730 Calhoun Road in the south central area of Houston.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

I cannot even begin to say the horrible experience I had here. My mother in law passed away may 2018 and I was there for my spouse through such a terrible time. This funeral home was beyond disgusting and disrespectful in the cleanliness and the way they handled my family. The viewing was in such a poor room the pews were wet from the prior service or Something. Who knows? The funeral itself I was unable to sit with and comfort my spouse because the funeral home had no one to handle music and my family wanted certain gospel played. In the end I ended up being the music person and was entirely heartbroken

Just want to express how happy I am with the service my family got from Johnson Funeral Home. Everything was perfect for my grandmother's (Hannah Mary Hogan ) funeral.
I especially want to thank the person that did her hair and make-up. My grandmother looked 20 years younger!
Thank you all for making that day just a little easier.

I just came across these reviews I only wish I knew about it sooner. When my mom passed away in 2002 we were told about Johnson's Funeral Home. We were told by a friend of the family who knew Mr. Guess. Everything they done was so amazing from the make up to my mother hair even her nails were beautiful. My sister passed away in 2004. We again was given great service by the Johnson's Funeral Home staff. My youngest brother passed in 2006. No insurance so I had to get him cremated I can't remember the young lady name but she was great. Everything went well and the cost was reasonable plus they also

I was very disappointed at my cousins services when the program was to have a viewing at the end of the service and they just wheeled the casket out the church. No explanation. My Aunt was very hurt. It was rude and wrong! I know I won't use them for nothing! They were actually late getting to the service! Poor service!

During my trying time my family was treated with the upmost respect and dignity. The staff displayed compassion and understanding. My family were able to entrust in Johnson's funeral home in your time of need.
In addition, they were able to provide a professional service that stayed within our budget. If and when the time arises, I will continue to use the service provided by Johnson Funeral Home.

Absolutely Wonderful.
Our family has had a rough few years to the point where I almost feel as if Johnson Funeral Home has become a second home (very sad to say) We have had a funeral here every years since 2008 and the services is just wonderful. Very kind people who are understanding and incredibly helpful. The staff was very accommodating and the prices are very reasonable.
