Services
The flagship East Austin location features a chapel with capacity for 200 guests. The facility is positioned on East Cesar Chavez Street with proximity to downtown Austin and Interstate 35 access. Planned facility upgrades include an interactive casket selection system to expand options beyond physical showroom inventory, plus a redesigned reception hall accommodating up to 70 guests for post-service gatherings.
Mission Funeral Home structures its services around explicit family choice, with staff presenting a general price list at the initial arrangement meeting before discussing personalization options.
Mission Funeral Home traces its roots to 1959, when Charles and Lois Villaseñor founded the business on East 1st Street in Austin's historic East Side district. What began as a modest family operation has expanded to four locations serving the greater Austin area and San Marcos. The original East Side location now sits at 1615 East Cesar Chavez Street, seven blocks east of I-35, where it continues to anchor the company's operations.
The funeral home maintains its family-owned structure decades after its founding, with staff answering phones directly around the clock rather than routing calls through an answering service. This operational detail reflects a broader emphasis on direct, unmediated family contact during urgent situations.
