About

Pat H. Foley and Company has been serving the Houston area since 1936. Our commitment to exceptional service has never changed, although our firm has always responded to the changing needs of the community. In 1965, we opened Chapel of the Garden on West 34th Street and pioneered a new concept in the funeral profession.

A modern funeral home

Sitting area at Pat H. Foley & CompanyYou'll be hard pressed to find a more beautiful funeral home in the area. With its mid-century architecture and contemporary furnishings, Pat H. Foley and Company is an unexpected and stylish place to celebrate a life.

Occupying an acre and a half, Chapel of the Garden was built around an open courtyard and features a beautifully landscaped oriental garden with waterfalls and a stream running through its center. A stone bridge spans the stream. In spring, pink and lavender azaleas blossom, and the Pyracantha's red berries add a touch of brilliance to the garden in winter.

Our light-filled chapel accommodates 250 people. A wall of windows overlooks the garden. The chapel's state rooms are equipped with folding doors that can be opened to accommodate larger gatherings of friends and family or closed for more intimacy. All of our state rooms open onto the main corridor, which overlooks the garden and radiates an atmosphere of complete serenity. Our facility also features parking for up to 150 vehicles.
