Weed Corley Fish Funeral Homes and Cremation Services

A welcoming funeral home

Weed-Corley-Fish Lake Travis Chapel is a warm, welcoming environment for your family. From the moment you step inside, you are immediately met with a Texas Hill Country appeal coupled with contemporary décor, neutral colors, vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Featuring eclectic furnishings, beautiful light fixtures and a mix of natural stone and dark hardwoods, our facility is spacious and comfortable, allowing you to feel right at home.

All of our funeral associates have lived in the Austin area for many years with very personal connections to the community. With a combined experience of over 100 years in funeral service, our long-tenured team includes a Spanish-speaking manager and a funeral celebrant.

Our chapel

Seating up to 250 guests, our chapel can be easily configured to your specifications with chair seating and a partition in the middle to allow for smaller services. The chapel is well lit with windows on the east and west sides as well as modern light fixtures throughout. Stone walls and vaulted ceilings with dark wood beams create a beautifully open space for remembrance and reflection. Our chapel also includes AV capabilities with a large screen for digital displays or slideshows at the front and a baby grand piano available for your use as well.

Private suites and reception space

We offer a number of other accommodating spaces available to suit your needs. Located next to the chapel, our visitation suite can be used as a private suite for families to gather before or after the memorial service. We also have 2 private arrangement spaces.

Often referred to as the Great Hall, the lobby area at Weed-Corley-Fish Lake Travis Chapel is a comfortable collection of overstuffed sofas and chairs for guests to relax.

Our reception space, the Magnolia Room, can accommodate up to 75 guests. It includes large round tables, cocktail tables and chairs and is adjacent to a fully functional kitchen. We have complete catering capabilities and are glad to coordinate these details on your behalf. For those interested in outdoor space, the Magnolia Room includes a small covered patio.

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 get to know your family, providing you with the utmost care and ability to create a celebration of life that is unique, special and meaningful.

From a golf cart on display in the chapel for the avid golfer to a car show in the parking lot to honor a longtime collector, the options for personalization are truly endless. Additionally, we have strong connections to the Austin music community and are glad to arrange live music from a variety of genres should you wish to do so.

Cremation services

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, we have an on-site crematory at our sister location, Weed-Corley-Fish South Chapel on South Congress in Austin.

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 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.
