Wowwwww
Was so impressed with this museum!! It took over 3 hours to see everything! There were so many antique items and informative sections. My teenage children thought it was very interesting too. This museum has put an extensive effort into the collection and display of funerary knowledge. 10/10 would recommend to all visitors of Houston

Pleasantly surprised
The museum is very unique and one of a kind. I learned that many Houston locals don’t even know that this places exists. It is educational and not morbid. While it is an unusual theme for a museum, upon entering, these negative perceptions quickly go away. I took my 2 older sisters to the museum and they were initially sort of apprehensive. However once they started seeing how detailed and realistic the exhibits were, they ventured through the museum without issue. After the visit, they both had no regrets and “enjoyed” if that is proper to say. I highly recommend the funeral museum.
