Do you serve Houston National Cemetery?
+
Yes. We serve Houston National Cemetery on Veterans Memorial Drive and are experienced coordinating horse-drawn processions at this historic site. We work directly with funeral homes to integrate seamlessly into any service, including full military honors.
What areas of Houston do you serve?
+
We serve all of Houston and Harris County, including Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands, Cypress, Humble, Baytown, Pasadena, League City, Friendswood, Conroe, Spring, Missouri City, and Stafford. Contact us with your cemetery or venue location and we will confirm availability.
Do you provide military funeral carriages in Houston?
+
Absolutely. We provide the black caisson, riderless horse, and white hearse for veteran and military services — coordinating with funeral homes and working within military funeral protocol. The riderless horse and black caisson are also available for any family, not just military.
Can a family member ride the hearse?
+
Yes. One family member may ride the hearse itself for what we call the last mile — physically present with their loved one for that final journey. We have had mothers, wives, grandchildren, and children of the deceased ride alongside. If this matters to your family, ask for it.
How far in advance should I book?
+
As early as possible. Some families call months ahead when pre-planning. Funeral homes sometimes contact us 48 hours before a service and we always do our best to accommodate. Custom plumes require at least two weeks notice; a team of two horses requires at least one week.
Do you work with Houston funeral homes directly?
+
Yes, and we prefer it. Working through the funeral director takes the coordination burden entirely off the family at one of the hardest times of their lives. Funeral directors are welcome to contact us directly — we are easy to work with and always show up.
What if the weather is bad?
+
If we can get there safely, we will be there. We have operated in cold, rain, and difficult conditions because we understand that a funeral cannot be rescheduled lightly. In over ten years of service across Texas, we have had to cancel or reschedule extremely rarely — and never from our end.
Can we customize the carriage?
+
Yes. Custom colored plumes, flag draping, and carriage decorations are all available. We encourage families to provide their own decorations — passed through the funeral director to us at setup — so the result reflects exactly their vision. Whatever matters to your family, we will do our best to make it happen.
