Heights Funeral Home stands as one of Houston's oldest continuously operating funeral homes, with roots dating to 1926 when Robert E. Waltrip purchased the only funeral home serving the Heights neighborhood. The Waltrip family lived upstairs at 1317 Heights Boulevard while operating the business below, establishing a tradition of personal presence that continues today. Four generations later, the facility blends historic character with modern amenities, including a Celebration of Life center designed for personalized memorials. The funeral home maintains close working relationships with Memorial Oaks Cemetery, Forest Park Lawndale, Earthman Resthaven, Brookside Memorial Park, and Forest Park Westheimer for families seeking cemetery arrangements.
