Weed Corley Fish Funeral Homes and Cremation Services

A welcoming funeral home

Weed-Corley-Fish South Chapel provides a warm, welcoming environment for your family during this difficult time. In 2017, the building underwent a beautiful, fresh interior facelift. From the moment you step inside, you are immediately met with traditional yet updated décor, calming colors and an open foyer with large windows situated at the entrance. Our funeral home features ample parking and is handicap-accessible.

All of our funeral associates are Austin residents with very personal connections to the community. With a combined experience of 100 years in funeral service, our team includes a funeral celebrant and a Spanish-speaking director. We work with all Austin-area cemeteries.

Spacious chapel

Comfortably accommodating more than 200 guests, our large chapel features chair seating that can easily be configured to your specifications. With new flooring, fresh wallpaper and beautiful sconces lining the room, our chapel is a calming space for you to pay tribute to your loved one. We offer full AV capabilities along with a large projector for slideshow and video tributes. Private restrooms and a private sitting room are conveniently situated directly off the chapel, providing quiet spaces for respite for your family.

Visitation suites and reception area

Weed-Corley-Fish South Chapel has two large visitation rooms that can easily be arranged into six smaller rooms as needed. This unique flexibility allows us to truly tailor the space to your visitation needs.

We also offer a reception area should you wish to gather with family and friends before or after the service. For those interested in a smaller chapel option, our reception space can be used for this purpose as well. We have full catering capabilities and are glad to coordinate these details on your behalf.

Celebrating life

Offering a complete range of funeral, burial and cremation options, all of the services at Weed-Corley-Fish South Chapel are designed to help you through one of the most personal and challenging stages of life. We understand that losing a loved one is an emotional and difficult experience and are committed to providing compassionate, professional and personal care.

Whether you wish to arrange for a traditional funeral with immediate burial, a customized celebration of life, a large gathering or a more intimate service, we will work with you one-on-one to ensure your needs, wishes and budget are met. It is our promise to provide you with the utmost care and ability to create a celebration of life that is special, meaningful and personalized.

On-site crematory

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in cremation, our funeral home associates can explain the process and discuss your different options. From a direct cremation without a memorial service or a witness cremation to a full funeral service before or after the cremation, we help you understand this increasingly common choice—and handle all of the arrangements.

As an added convenience, Weed-Corley-Fish South Chapel has an on-site crematory so your loved one never leaves our care. For those interested in witness cremation, we can accommodate this upon request.

Planning ahead

We also recognize that funeral arrangements and associated expenses can be overwhelming. In addition to assisting during your immediate time of need, our funeral directors work with families to plan final arrangements in advance. By preparing these details ahead of time, you provide a sense of relief, peace of mind and comfort to your loved ones while ensuring your wishes are met to your specifications. We are here to discuss your options should you wish to do so in advance.

History

For generations, Weed-Corley-Fish has been a household name in Austin. In the mid-1800s, Thurlow Weed and Jack Corley—both of whom were born into family funeral homes—founded the business on the philosophy of helping and serving their neighbors.

Weed-Corley-Fish North Chapel was the firm’s first funeral home, originally located at 17th and Lavaca in Downtown Austin. This location moved to its current building on North Lamar in the early 1950s. Soon after, in the late 1960s, Jack’s son-in-law, Laurens Fish, Jr., joined the family firm.

The business continued to grow over the years, with the purchase of Weed-Corley-Fish South Chapel on South Congress in 1997, as well as the construction of Weed-Corley-Fish Lake Travis in 2008. A few years later in 2012, the firm acquired Weed-Corley-Fish Leander.

Today, Laurens Fish III and his dedicated team continue the time-honored traditions of honoring generations past while bringing you an expansive range of options to suit your funeral needs. We are proud members of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, offering the compassionate care you expect from the Weed-Corley-Fish family and the value you deserve.
