Howe-Peterson Funeral Home & Cremation Services

I worked with Hannah at the Howe Peterson in Taylor, she was amazing and very caring with my dad and the wishes he had. She was professional, loving, information and one of the kindest people I have met in a long time. I would highly recommend Howe Peterson for any funeral plans you may have. Thank you Hannah!

The experience of putting our loved one to rest was, by far the hardest thing we had ever had to do. We, as a family recived genuine kindness, respect and tenderness from the entire staff from Howe Peterson in Taylor. We want to thank everyone for their support and professionalism. Even when we made last minute changes to the music and the procession, everyone jumped on board and made the changes perfectly. We appreciate Scarlett and the wonderful job she does and Chad, Thank you so much to the entire staff . Everyone was so great to our family at a time when we needed it. From the greeters to our kind and understanding driver to the cemetery. Thank you all so very much. With great respect always.

From the moment our family walked in we were treated with empathy, compassion, kindness, and support. We are forever grateful for the entire Howe-Peterson family as they cared for our precious son. They were able to help us provide a beautiful and meaningful viewing and funeral to honor our son.

The Reiners Family would like to thank the Howe Peterson Funeral Home-Taylor, specifically Tim, Chad, Jenna and Jim, for taking excellent care of our beloved brother Oscar. From the time we contacted them that Oscar was in hospice to his cremation, they were kind, compassionate and very professional. We had entrusted our loved one to Howe Peterson and they made this very difficult time more calm and comforting, thoroughly explaining each step of the process. Thank you all, from our family to yours! Robert Reiners

My husband Jerry Lee passed away January 29 this year. What was the most difficult time of My Life and My five children. The entire staff was so kind to us. But we were taken into a room with Sidonia, Jim, and the Director Chad where they were so patient and understanding to all of our needs and allowed us as much time as we needed to come together on decision making. They would listen to all of our humorous stories about My Husband. Their Father. Never rushed us and actually felt as they enjoyed every word we were saying. I never expected that this experience you never want to happen to actually leave feeling very good about getting the best care possible for your loved ones Celebration of Life. Again the entire staff was Amazing.

Today on Angel Baby day, I want to share our story and how this funeral home got us through it.

I was 13 weeks pregnant when we learned our sweet baby girl, Ada, had Trisomy 18. Tests were done to confirm our worst fears. Almost 16 weeks in, we officially lost her. One of the hardest parts was not knowing if we could bring her home, and that's when we called Howe-Peterson.

We were matched with their funeral director, Scarlet. We met, sitting around a table in a quiet and private room. She made us laugh, she let us cry. She treated us with respect. Going forward, she called and updated me every step of the way. She personally drove to the hospital where we lost our daughter, and she let me know she was safe in her care. Scarlet communicated with me every step of the way. When all was said and done, we were brought to a beautiful room so we could finally take our daughter home. They gave us all the time we needed to mourn.

In the proceeding months, Scarlet contacted me multiple times. Just simply to ask how we were doing, how I was doing. Offering her support. Listening to a freshly grieving mother. It went beyond the service we expected, I can't tell you how much I really appreciated that. When the rest of my world seemed to move on, while I was still stuck on the day September 14th, 2022, it was nice to have her reach out and acknowledge our pain.

The other day, now almost a year later, I was able to reach out to her again. This time with good news, as we have just recently welcomed our second daughter into the world. And you bet, Scarlet remembered us. This funeral home takes their business incredibly seriously, amazingly professional and courteous. Thank you Scarlet, and thank you Howe-Peterson, for everything. ♡

It was recommended to me when my son passed away to call around and check out pricing of funeral services. Obviously during a difficult time that does not sound ideal, but makes sense as funeral planning can be expensive. I called Howe-Peterson in Taylor first and I spoke with a few people and with the information they supplied to me and the care they were giving me, I could tell that was the place to help care for my son during these final moments. They were patient, attentive, and there for my every need. Everyone who works there is always looking to see how they can help even well after the services have ended. I highly recommend Howe-Peterson.

My Uncle was cremated and I expected to have him handed to me in a bag. Howe-Peterson placed him in a viewing room on a nice pedestal with a candle. They gave me a few moments with him. That was really appreciated and when I showed my mother, it gave her comfort knowing that he was not just thrown in a bag to be taken home. Howe-Peterson is patient, caring, and compassionate. I would recommend them for your funeral service needs.

Howe-Peterson made the most difficult grief filled time easier to make those special decisions for our Mother. Their entire staff (Tim, Jenna, Danielle, Scarlet and so many others) are outstanding! They were so kind, checked on us daily and answered all of our questions with such care and compassion. There is no other funeral home I would want to take care of my loved ones!

Absolutely amazing staff that went above and beyond for us and made everything so easy. Everyone is so kind there.

My father passed away late Friday afternoon (9/2/2022). We had a meeting with David A. at 1pm Saturday and the visitation at 3pm Sunday, all during Labor Day Weekend. David helped us through the process quickly so could notify family and friends of the arrangements. He was helpful with the music and pictures and setting up our memory items around the room. My family was very impressed with the caring and compassion of staff members. There was no other family there that Sunday and we appreciated them giving up their day off on a holiday weekend to accommodate our situation. Very professional!

What a wonderful job you have done for my family. Your staff was very helpful with everything. I would recommend your funeral home to anyone. Les read a beautiful poem at the grave site which I got a copy of to keep. He did an amazing job and the Gozalka family appreciated everything. Thank you for making this easier for us at this time God Bless!I hope I got the name right I remember faces not names. God Bless

The staff at Howe Peterson was exceptional! Thanks to all the support and warmth they provided to our family. They showed the utmost respect for our father and family in the services offered.

Jenna and the team who work with her are wonderful. They took care of us when my mom died in 2021 and recently when my dad died (2022). I highly recommend them. 5 stars are not enough!

Glad my family and I came here during our hard time. Service was great and Lindsay was extremely accommodating with all of our needs, even after the fact. All other staff we encountered and worked with were also professional and helpful.

Howe Peterson in Taylor did a wonderful job for my mom's Celebration of Life. With the pandemic restrictions they were accommodating in allowing us to be outside as well. They made a very difficult time a bit easier by providing a beautiful service for us.

When my Ex-wife's Brother passed away we had the services handled by Howe-Peterson Funeral Home and Tim Schram. Although it was a Final Event, it was handled so well and the family was very pleased with the care and compassion shown by the Howe-Peterson Staff. From the selection of the Casket, to the retrieval of the body and preparation, to the Service and Internment, they handled everything. I'm using Howe-Peterson to Pre-planned my Final Event, hopefully not needing it for a long time but secure in knowing that when my time comes a phonecall will be all that's needed to lift the burden off my survivors.

There is never a more stressful time than dealing with the loss of a loved one. The service and compassion one receives at Howe-Peterson is comparable to none. Before that dreaded day arrives, speak with the staff at Howe-Peterson to help you go through the process and know you'll be in good hands.

My brother unexpectedly passed in Iowa. I contacted Howe Peterson on Tuesday and my brother was home by Thursday. Incredile service throughout the entire process, from his transportation home until our final Good byes. Thank you Mr Schramm and the entire HP team

My family cannot express how wonderful our experience was with the facility and employees of Howe-Peterson. They were more than good to us in every way in our time of loss. We highly recommend them.
