Services
The North Austin location underwent a complete renovation in 2024, seven years after Mission Funeral Home assumed management. The facility features a chapel with seating capacity for 250 service guests. The location is positioned at the intersection of I-35 and Highway 183 for accessibility. Planned additions include a reception hall with capacity for 65 guests for gatherings and memorial receptions, plus a private setting for witness cremation participation. The facility also incorporates an interactive casket selection system that expands visual options beyond the physical showroom inventory.
Mission Funeral Home emphasizes personalized service across all locations, with staff guiding families through what they describe as 70-75 decisions typically made within 24-48 hours of death.
Mission Funeral Home traces its origins to 1959, when the Austin-Peel family established what would become a multi-generational funeral service operation in Central Texas. Today, the business operates under the leadership of Charles Villaseñor, who acquired the North Austin location in 2019 under extraordinary circumstances.
The North Austin facility at 607 East Anderson Lane represents a significant turnaround story. In 2019, Villaseñor learned that the previous operator had failed to secure pre-paid funeral arrangements in third-party entities as required by law, leaving hundreds of families without legal protections for their funds. He purchased the funeral home and supplied the necessary capital to make those accounts whole. The transition coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which placed additional pressure on operations. As of 2025, Mission Funeral Home has managed the location for seven years and completed a full renovation in 2024.
The organization now encompasses four locations: North Austin (Anderson Lane), South Austin (South First Street), East Austin (Cesar Chavez Street), and San Marcos. The business maintains 24/7 availability with a stated policy that staff answer phones directly rather than using an answering service.
I would give them zero stars if I could. My brother signed a prearrangement contract with them in April of 2024 and they refused to honor that contract. My brother passed 3/3/25, Austin Peel & Son Funeral Home pick him up from the nursing home and then tried to charge me an add...
I highly recommend this place. They are so kind, caring, and compassionate. It's true blessing and honor to have selected this place for my grandmother, sister, and brother to all have their services here. They also did an amazing job on my brother's face, it looked like he was ...
Let's just say there's better places, for a multitude of reasons. The setup and ambiance are cheap, the tv displaying the photos is tiny (they need a 60" for all that wall space), you could tell the priest didn't want to say the rosary, and the microphone was so dull that almost ...
