The staff at Bluebonnet were compassionate about our misfortune and they handled my son with care. They did not disappoint with his urn and they were very affordable. It was also a nice surprise being greeted by a couple of feline friends!

They were able to cremate my bearded dragon for a very reasonable price. They were very kind and the process was very quick. They even included a clay print of him, which I was not expecting but was very happy to receive.

Good morning, I wanted to personally thank Bluebonnet and the two women in the office from the bottom of my heart for the care they provided to us as well as your generosity. We have never had anyone treat us so well. My future wife and myself where so pleased with your service again and where taken back at your generosity in providing us with a beautiful urn for my long time friend Lady Jane. Words cannot express our gratitude, y'all are the best! We will always come back and refer anyone who needs final services for there family friends! Thank you so much! Jeremy and Myranda
