Our Cremation Center
Often at the time of death, the very simple question about where to gather arises and becomes complicated to answer. The idea of a “hometown” is changing. People are working in one town their entire career and then retiring to a different town which may or may not be near their family.
Highland Cremation Center, located in Marble Falls, TX has the flexibility for family members to complete an entire cremation arrangement from the comforts of their home, even if that's in another state. We also have the flexibility to provide a central gathering place where families and friends can meet and comfort each other. Our modern, farmhouse style, is warm and inviting and a place everyone feels welcomed.
Our Crematory Partner
Harrell Funeral Home of Kingsland (previously Putnam Funeral Home)
You may be surprised to learn many cremation providers outsource the cremation to be performed with a low-priced bidder who has facilities in a Metroplex area. When this happens, your loved one is being transferred into the care of someone you do not know.
Highland Lakes Cremation Center customers have the comfort of knowing their loved one is in the compassionate, capable hands of our trusted affiliate's staff at Harrell Funeral Home of Kingsland, previously named Putnam Funeral Home. All cremations are performed at Harrell Funeral Home in Kingsland, Texas, a licensed crematory established in 2006. Putnam Funeral Home has been a very reputable, long standing funeral and cremation provider in Kingsland and a crematory manager and several certified crematory operators with decades of experience.
The cremation facilities have strict procedures and ethics that are adhered to. We escort your loved one from the moment they are transferred from your care into ours, to the moment they are returned to your care. Each member of the staff commits to the Cremation Code of Ethics, a pledge of honesty and dignity. They each sign an oath that attests to their commitment.
Highland Lakes Cremation Center and Harrell Funeral Home, servicing Marble Falls, TX, also belong to the Cremation Association of North America (CANA), and pledge to strict standards for providing dignity and respect in the care of the deceased, compassion for the living who survive them, and in the memorialization of life. We desire to create and maintain an atmosphere of respect at all times and take the greatest care in the hiring crematory staff operators. The experienced cremation staff follow a rigid pre-cremation checklist, including eight designated identification checkpoints: Removal of deceased from place of death, transport to crematory; placement in storage, placement in cremator, removal from cremator, processing of the remains, placement in an urn, return to authorized agent.
Two staff members participate in the cremation to assure that your loved one is cared for at the highest standard. With absolute assurances, we cremate one individual at a time and diligently remove and track all cremated remains. Highland Lakes Cremation Center offer viewing of the cremation process, as an add-on service, for those who wish to be present for the start of the cremation process.
