We're Here For You

We're Here. We've Been Here. We Will Be Here.

For 124 years, King-Tears Mortuary has been the trusted name for funeral care in Austin and the surrounding communities. We are one of the oldest continuously-operating funeral establishments in the state of Texas, family-owned and independent in an era when so many of our peers have been acquired by corporate chains. When Austin families want a funeral home that still answers to them — and only them — they call King-Tears.
