Funeral planning& concierge,all in one place.

A traditional funeral with burial in Texas typically costs $7,000–$12,000, while direct cremation averages $1,000–$3,500. Costs vary by city, funeral home, and the services you choose. Renidy shows you transparent, itemized pricing so you can compare options and stay within budget.

A death doula is a trained guide who supports families through the practical and emotional aspects of end-of-life planning and the days immediately after a death. They help coordinate logistics — from filing paperwork and contacting vendors to comparing funeral home prices — so your family can focus on grieving and saying goodbye.

Start by securing the body (a funeral home must take custody within 24 hours in most Texas counties), then obtain the death certificate through the Texas DSHS Vital Statistics Unit. Renidy's concierge service guides you through each step, helps you compare local funeral homes, and can have a plan ready in under an hour.

Texas law requires a 48-hour waiting period before cremation and requires authorization from the person with the right to control final disposition. Burial has no mandatory waiting period but requires a burial permit. Cremation generally costs 60–70% less. Both options allow for memorial services before or after.

Renidy currently serves families in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and surrounding Texas metros. Our certified funeral planners and death doulas are available by phone or video for families anywhere in Texas, and we are expanding to additional cities.
