Meadowlawn Funeral Home And Crematory

Meadowlawn Funeral Home and Crematory, located at 5611 East Houston Street in San Antonio, Texas, is a family-owned and operated funeral home, crematory, and cemetery that has been serving the community with compassion, integrity, and experience for generations. The property has a rich history dating back to 1872, when it was originally known as the Ackerman family cemetery, with the first burial taking place that year. In 1919, the Hermann Fraternal Order managed the site as a private cemetery until 1963, when Cyrus "Cy" Weller founded Meadowlawn as a perpetual care cemetery. Cy Weller expanded the property to 29 acres before passing the business to his son-in-law, Craig Cates, and daughter, Mary Cates, who further grew Meadowlawn so that every member of the family could be cared for in one location. Today, Meadowlawn sits on 94 acres of perpetual care cemetery, along with a traditional funeral home and two onsite crematories—one for humans and one for pets. The establishment remains proudly independent and deeply committed to the families who rely on it.

Meadowlawn offers a streamlined experience, with every aspect of care available in one place: from planning and arrangements to memorial services and burial options. This eliminates the need for families to visit multiple locations or work with separate providers. Services include traditional funerals, cremation services (simple cremation, traditional funeral with cremation, cremation with memorial service), burial options with above-ground and below-ground choices, private family estates, veteran services with coordination with Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, an onsite flower shop, pet cremation, and compassionate grief support services. The funeral home also provides easy-to-purchase online packages for cremation, funeral, and cemetery spaces, allowing families to make arrangements from the comfort of home or from a distance.
