Services
San Jose Funeral Home operates three distinct facilities rather than a single centralized campus. The Central location at 601 S. Virginia Street serves as the administrative headquarters and primary downtown facility. The East location at 10950 Pellicano Drive provides east-side El Paso families with localized access. The Fabens location at 300 W. Main Street extends service to rural communities in southeastern El Paso County. Each location maintains independent contact numbers: Central (915-532-1856), East (915-590-8700), and Fabens (915-764-2254).
Services are delivered through a faith-informed framework, with explicit references to Christian principles of compassion and community support woven throughout their service descriptions.
San Jose Funeral Home traces its origins to 1956, when the Vargas family established what has become El Paso's oldest family-owned and operated funeral home. Today, brothers Stephen and Patrick Vargas manage the business from its central location at 601 S. Virginia Street in downtown El Paso, carrying forward their father and grandfather's approach to funeral care.
The operation has expanded to three distinct locations: San Jose Funeral Central (the original downtown facility), San Jose Funeral East at 10950 Pellicano Drive on El Paso's east side, and San Jose Funeral Fabens in the rural community of Fabens, Texas, 30 miles southeast of the city. This geographic spread allows families across El Paso County and surrounding communities to access services without traveling long distances during difficult times.
The Vargas family emphasizes what they describe as "fair, straightforward and realistic prices" rather than package-based or opaque pricing structures. Their stated philosophy centers on flexibility of terms and consideration of individual family circumstances, positioning themselves as neighbors rather than corporate service providers.

We chose this funeral home because my mother had selected it through a prepaid plan. Unfortunately, our experience during her services was extremely disappointing and added unnecessary stress during an already heartbreaking time. Tanya was the person helping us and she took her t...
Kept referring to me by my maiden name when dealing with my late husbands arrangements. Made arrangements difficult as next of kin and would avidly have to call to get answers because they failed to update me
I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the service and professionalism displayed at San Jose Funeral Home during our family's recent visitation. In the middle of the eulogies — one of the most emotional and meaningful moments for grieving families — an employee began...
First time I see DISRESPECT for a family while services are being held. A funeral attendant started taking the cards off the flowers, while the a family member was saying his last goodbye. Terrible to have seen this, disrespectful moment for the family.
