Our co-founder Ray Shotwell, is a “steady hand” who has been guiding families and communities of Southeast Texas through some of the most difficult losses. In his 50+ years of funeral home service, Ray noticed people wanted a change. An online service provides an ease and affordability not available with the traditional funeral home. Ray sold his Crematorium and “retired” to create Birdsong Cremations, offering the best of technology with the same compassion and cremation services.
