Lone Star Cremation  ·  Serving Dallas Fort Worth Metro Area

About Lone Star Cremation

We started Lone Star Cremation to provide an alternative to the traditional funeral home arrangement process — offering an affordable, convenient, and dignified approach to cremation services for DFW families.

Our Story

The First Online Cremation Provider in DFW

Lone Star Cremation was founded in 2004 by Roy Kiser, a licensed Funeral Director, Embalmer, and Certified Crematory Operator with over three decades of experience in the funeral service industry. Roy's vision was simple — give families a better, more transparent way to arrange cremation without the pressure, confusion, or inflated costs of traditional funeral homes.

We were the first Dallas–Fort Worth cremation provider to offer fully online arrangements, and we have proudly served thousands of North Texas families ever since. We operate as Kiser Undertakings, a licensed Texas funeral establishment (TFSC Lic #4372), and every cremation is performed at a licensed Texas crematory in full compliance with state law.

Our team of licensed professionals brings decades of combined experience in funeral service, insurance, and family support — giving every family the expert care and compassionate guidance they deserve.
