I am a frequent visitor to Assumption Cemetery, (located in Austin, Texas) & have been for many…read moreyears because so many of my family members are buried there. And the one thing that I can say is consistent about Assumption Cemetery is the inconsistency of the maintenance & upkeep of the grounds at Assumption Cemetery. During my most recent visit on Father's Day 06/15/2025 around 6pm - which was a rainy day. there were so many areas that were flooded w/ water completely covering some of the tombstones (see pic & video included in this review). I have called the cemetery on Monday, 06/16/2025 & left a message to report the flooded areas. I also left a message about the following issues needing to be addressed: -- - - trash needing to be cleaned up & not enough trash bins located on-site so visitors can throw away their trash. Only 2 regular sized trash bins currently there & the trash was overflowing because cans weren't big enough. -- - - no markers on-site to list the section #s of the burial grounds so 1st time visitors can easily find grave sites. During my most recent visit, there was a woman looking for her dads grave stone & she did have a section # of the stone but since there are no signs listing the sections, she wasn't able to locate it. - - - clearing the weeds & grass from covering any gravestones - some stones are partially covered by grass and others are completely covered Each time I visit, I always bring gloves & trash bag(s) w/ me so I can pick up any trash that I see on the grounds & to pull up any weeds covering any of the stones. I do this for my family members AND for any other grave stones I see that are not my family members, out of respect but I do wish that the Assumption Cemetery grounds staff did a better job of keeping the cemetery grounds clean & maintained. I will continue to follow up on the issues mentioned above until they get resolved & I would also encourage any other cemetery visitors to contact the cemetery staff for any concerns they may have, so together we can keep the pressure on those who are responsible for the cleanliness & maintenance of Assumption Cemetery.

Not that I nessecarily WANT to EVER do business with them in the future (who really wants to with a…read moreFuneral Home?), I wouldn't mind them handling my business again. When my father passed away, I honestly had no idea what to do. My mom recommended taking him here as we were cremating his remains and she saw in a Statesman article many years back that all the funeral homes doing cremations send their clients to All Faiths since they were one of the only crematories for Austin. What I really enjoyed was that we were able to meet the morning after he passed and they did not try to upsell us on ANYTHING. The director mentioned certain services that would be good in case of a viewing (like embalming, etc), but he recommended against it because it wouldn't be nessecary in the end. Now, I REALLY like that. We knew already we weren't going to have a viewing, so that was no problem. The director didn't even try to upsell us on various caskets used for cremation. He explained very well what would be "standard" - which my Dad wanted. There was a price list for the "standard" set up which came out around a little under $900 for the whole thing. He didn't try to sell us any urns, but gave a catalogue to look through in case we were thinking about some. I really really loved how the director kept everything very calm and casual and didn't try to take advantage of us like a lot of other places tend to do. In the following weeks, they were very communicative in regards to when things were ready (death certificates, the urns I ended up ordering, etc). When my father's cremains were ready, they were very courteous and very supportive. So do I WANT to do business with them again in the future? Not really... But since they do have excellent, compassionate service and cut-out-the-middle-man type prices here, I'd definitely recommend them to just about anyone in Austin looking to be cremated in the future or you have a loved one who has requested that you don't overspend on them after death, I'd definitely recommend All Faiths.

I spotted it on Google maps, so with this review, the photos should make it to Google maps. Unfortunately, it is completely overgrown and uncared for which makes it hard to spot from the road. There is a fence that surrounds the perimeter, but it too has seen better days. To add to the confusion, many of the graves are just randomly laid out and in a state of disrepair. Little to no effort has been made to restore the grounds. Most of the markers are cast in concrete, not granite, leading me to believe this may be an African-American graveyard. It appears some members of the public have set up a few benches at the fence perimeter, but no restoration has been attempted. If you come here in the summertime and the weeds are high, you may run across a snake. You will need jeans and boots to get through all the scrub and stickers. Apart from a Texas historical marker, there is no additional information that I could find other than in the photos below.

He was euthanized in our home by a wonderful vet who makes house calls. After Luci's passing, A Plus Cremation showed up to take him away. Jacob with A Plus was very considerate and professional and very sympathetic to our sorrow in our time of need. As Luci was so large, no other pet cremation company would help us with his remains. We were not able to take him to a vet or to a pet crematorium, so A Plus Cremation is a valuable, life-saving service. Chris, the owner, worked with us in making arrangements to have Luci cremated and with the payments. Luci's ashes were returned to us in a very nice carved wood box, along with a plaster of his paw print and an ink print as well. A name plate embossed with Luci's name was also provided: Lord Lucifer Bear which will be placed on his final resting spot the wooden box. We are indebted to Chris for his wonderful services in taking care of our Luci. Please contact Chris Tapia with A Plus Cremation to help with the cremation of your loved pet. He is able to take care of any size or type of pet. Do Not hesitate to contact Chris at 1-888-65-APLUS(27587).

I finally decided to take it in and have someone look at the hardware, realizing most likely I had a busted chord or fan somewhere that would need to be replaced. I gave Scott a rundown, and he told me he would call me when he figured it out. He called me ten minutes later, so quickly I did not see the call until they had already closed. I then worked the rest of the week with Alicia who did all the replacements for my cooling system, graphics card and power core. Just got it home and have my computer running better than when I first bought it due to the new upgrades. I cannot recommend them enough, they are very knowledgeable and Alicia is a saint.
