Ellis Funeral Home

Ellis Funeral Home, also known as Ellis Resthaven Funeral Home and Memorial Park, has been serving the Midland, Texas, community and the greater Permian Basin for more than a century. Located at 801 Andrews Highway with a modern facility at 4616 North Big Spring Street, the funeral home offers compassionate, professional care to families during their most difficult moments. Operating under the trusted Dignity Memorial network, Ellis Resthaven provides a full range of funeral and cremation services tailored to individual needs and traditions.

In 2022, a brand-new funeral home opened, featuring contemporary design and Texas hospitality. The spacious chapel can seat up to 200 guests and can be configured for intimate gatherings or larger ceremonies. A warm hospitality room with a stone fireplace and adjoining patio, capable of seating about 70 guests, offers a comfortable space for receptions. The facility is fully equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology for personalized tribute videos, slideshows, and music. Accessible features include touchless restrooms, wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and ample free parking. Catering services are available before or after a service to ease the burden on families.

The staff specializes in creating personalized celebrations of life that honor each individual’s unique story. Whether a traditional funeral, a cremation memorial, or a multicultural ceremony—such as a barbecue tribute with live music or a quiet outdoor scattering of ashes—the team works one-on-one with families to ensure every detail reflects the deceased’s personality and beliefs. Cremation options range from simple direct cremation without a service to witness cremation or a full funeral followed by a catered reception. The funeral home also offers pre-planning services, including virtual consultations and a free Personal Planning Guide, allowing individuals to make arrangements in advance and lock in prices to relieve family burdens. For veterans and public servants, Ellis Resthaven provides specialized programs, including honors and a Veterans Planning Guide.

Ellis Resthaven Memorial Park, the affiliated cemetery, offers a variety of burial options from community to private spaces and includes a Veterans Memorial that has honored service members for more than 60 years. The cemetery provides a permanent place of remembrance for families across Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, and Monahans. The funeral home accepts prepayment plans and offers onsite services. With a rating of 3.9 stars from 78 reviews on Google Maps, Ellis Funeral Home remains a dedicated partner in helping families navigate end-of-life arrangements with dignity and respect.
