About: Bespoke Undertakings

About Bespoke Undertakings

A new kind of service for families who have the ashes and need help figuring out what comes next.

The Problem

There's a gap no one talks about.

The funeral home or crematory handles what's urgent: caring for the physical body of a recently deceased person. Once the casket is buried or the urn is in your hands, their work is complete.

But now there's a question no one is there to help you answer: where should the ashes rest permanently?

Most families don't realize how many options exist. Many don't know where to start. Some put off the decision for months or years. That's the gap.

Funeral Home

Handles arrangements, service, cremation

Crematory

Performs the cremation, returns ashes

The Gap

No one helping with what comes next

Bespoke Undertakings

Permanent placement, memorialization, guidance

What We Are

We exist to fill that gap.

Post-Cremation Guidance

We help families understand their options for permanent placement: cemeteries, columbariums, scattering, home memorialization, and more.

Veteran Services

We coordinate VA national cemetery placement and military honors for eligible veterans and their families.

Memorialization

From markers and urns to memorial benches and living tributes, we help you find the right way to honor the person you've lost.

The Conversation

Sometimes you just need someone to talk through the options with. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just guidance from someone who does this every day.

How We're Different

Built without the overhead. Focused on what matters.

🏛️

No Chapel

We don't maintain expensive facilities. That means lower costs and focused expertise.

🚗

No Fleet

No hearses, no limousines. We're not in the transportation business.

🔥

No Crematory

The cremation is already done. We focus entirely on what happens after.

💰

No Commissions

Our staff earn salaries, not commissions. What we recommend is based on your needs, not incentives.

📋

Transparent Pricing

Our fees are published on this website. No surprises, no hidden costs.

🤝

Your Interests Only

We work for you, not cemeteries, not vendors. Your family comes first.

3

Not ready yet? That's fine. There's no deadline. We're here whenever you are.

Questions You Might Have

Because it's new. The funeral industry has operated the same way for decades. We saw a gap that no one was addressing and built a service to fill it. You haven't heard of it because it didn't exist until now.
You can. Everything we help with is technically something you could figure out on your own. But most people don't know where to start, what questions to ask, or what options even exist. We know the cemeteries, the regulations, the vendors, and the pitfalls. We can save you time, frustration, and costly mistakes.
Our founder is a licensed funeral director with verifiable credentials in four states. Our consultants earn salaries, not commissions. What we recommend is based on your needs, not incentives. Our pricing is transparent and published on this website. We stake our professional reputation on doing this well.
Our pricing is published on our Pricing page. No surprises, no hidden fees. We'll tell you exactly what it costs before any work begins.
That's completely fine. There's no deadline for permanent placement. Some families take months, some take years. We're here when you're ready, not before.
We're based in Denton, Texas and primarily serve the Dallas-Fort Worth area. However, much of what we do can be handled virtually. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
