Funeral Services in Universal City, TX

Funeral Services for Universal City Families

When a death occurs, Universal City families can turn to a team that has served San Antonio for more than 26 years. We offer traditional funeral services with visitation and a full funeral service, as well as graveside and committal services for families who prefer a simpler, more intimate gathering at the cemetery. For families who want to gather without a casket present, we arrange memorial services and celebration of life gatherings led by a funeral director or life celebrant.

Every service can be personalized with tribute videos, printed keepsakes, and live streaming for relatives who cannot travel to Universal City in person. Our directors meet face to face with your family at our Northeast chapel to walk through every decision at a pace that feels right for you. We also offer pre-planning so families who want to put their wishes in writing ahead of time can do so without pressure.

Honoring Universal City's Veterans and Military Families

Universal City grew up alongside Randolph Air Force Base, now part of Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and the community remains home to a large number of active duty and retired military families. Puente and Sons coordinates veteran funeral honors at no additional fee, including flag presentation and honor guard coordination.

For veterans and their eligible family members who will be laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, the region's national cemetery for San Antonio's military community, our directors can help prepare the paperwork and coordinate the timing of the service. We understand the rhythms of military life, including PCS moves and deployments, and we work with out-of-town relatives to make sure everyone who needs to be part of the service can be there, in person or online.
