My family has long ties to this little spot of the Texas Black Land Prairie on the shore of Lake…read moreLewisville for at least a century. My dad and his family grew up all around before land around it sold by the square foot. It was farm land. My grandfather worked the land and helped his neighbors work their land when he came back from WWI. 70 years ago, my grandfather helped recover and move graves of many buried in ground that would be flooded by new lake (all but one lake in Texas are man-made). Now my grandfather's grave is one of many in this small-ish cemetery. Compared to the larger ones, this is somewhat rough for those infirm, unstable and not able to traverse the uneven ground, large, coarse gravel road It was a beautiful sunny day for our trip here during the cruel year known as 2020. Today's politics and attitudes would would be abhorred by those buried here. The ones I knew had strong beliefs and values besides strong and well worn hands. They help feed and clothe many North Texans for all of their lives. Most here knew the last horrific pandemic that swept through this region, often called the Spanish Flu. Many buried here help bury those taken by that horrific virus that wiped out towns and homesteads in North Texas. Today, we were burying one taken by the current pandemic, my Uncle. He was a popular and respected man who had told me stories about this area. Most were of humorous high jinx he participated in with my dad. Recalling those stories and the places he suggested I hunt and fish brought back smiles and chuckles. Stories of my farm tough grandmother sewing up wounds with reused thread that my uncle had somewhat caused or instigated. This funeral was sad not only for the loss of my uncle, but also because the COVID protocols robbed the graveside services of civility, compassion and empathy. Masks, lack of touch and social distance isolated all. It was great to come visit the graves, energy and memories. I need to come back and visit all again to feel it correctly.

Thank you to Thaedra Salazar and all the folks at MBM Funeral Home. My husband's services were…read moreperfect. He had everything pre-arranged. Ms Salazar had everything organized and made sure we knew what to expect at every step. The WiFi connection was great for live streaming. The VFW was able to coordinate and be a part of the service.

It was so good to be able to let someone else, who knew what they were doing, take charge and carry us through these difficult days. Thank you.

Funeral arrangements are never something you want to have to endure, but Becca made everything so…read moreeasy. She was very accommodating, and offered solutions to any situation we faced. She took care of requesting the military flag presentation service, catering arrangements, flower arrangements, ordering death certificates, cremation arrangements, and a whole list of other items. We decided to use a large photo instead of displaying an urn during the service, and Becca was able to locate and let us borrow the perfect picture stand. It was really nice to know that someone else was thinking of all the small details during a time of grief when it was difficult for my family to focus on event planning. Their website's online obituary (aka Everlasting Memorial) allows you to upload photos of your loved one that recently passed away. Those photos are then used to create a slide show that can be played during the funeral service. The slide show comes with somber default music, but you can also provide your own music specific to your loved one. My family received multiple compliments on the quality of the slide show. You can also request additional DVDs of the slide show (potential fee), and a custom sticker will be added to the face of the DVD with your loved one's picture on it. The facility is very clean and welcoming, and my family was very impressed with the services they provided. They are also very community-focused. Becca explained that if there was food leftover from the reception that the family didn't want to take home, then she would bring the leftovers to a nearby fire station. If there were any flowers that the family didn't take home, then they would bring the flowers to a nearby hospice or hospital to brighten their day. I would definitely recommend using Rolling Oaks, and specifically recommend working with Becca.

The staff was also immensely kind and generous in dropping off our flowers to our home following the funeral services.
