Why Converse Families Trust Puente and Sons for Cremation
Puente and Sons has served San Antonio area families for more than 26 years and remains family-owned and operated by the Puente family today. Licensed morticians and directors including Guillermo Puente, Yolanda P. Puente, M. Jacob Puente, Ph.D., and Frank A. Puente work directly with families, a different experience from an online-only cremation seller that a Converse family may never meet in person.
With chapels in the Northeast on Judson Rd. and the South on S. Flores St., Puente and Sons serves Converse and the wider San Antonio metro area from two convenient locations. Families can also pre-plan a cremation in advance, locking in their wishes so loved ones are not left guessing later. Bilingual care and full repatriation service to Mexico are available for families with loved ones there, and the firm holds a 4.76-star average across more than 200 Google reviews, a reflection of consistent care across both chapels.
Veteran Cremation Honors for Converse Families
Converse sits beside Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph and only a short drive from Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, giving the city a strong and lasting military character. Many Converse families include a veteran, and many choose Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery as a final resting place for cremated remains.
Puente and Sons offers veteran cremation support at no extra fee, helping families arrange flag presentation and honor guard participation alongside cremation and any interment of cremated remains. Our directors can also help confirm eligibility for military honors, so a Converse veteran's family does not have to sort through that paperwork alone.
About Converse, TX
Converse is a city in Bexar County, located roughly 15 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio and part of the San Antonio metropolitan statistical area. As of the 2020 census, Converse had a population of 27,466 residents, making it one of the larger communities in Bexar County outside San Antonio itself.
Converse is one of the Randolph Metrocom communities, a group of Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe County cities, including Live Oak, Universal City, and Selma, that grew up around Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, which sits just across Loop 1604 from Converse. That close military connection is part of why so many Converse families turn to a provider who can handle both cremation and veteran honors together. From our Northeast chapel on Judson Rd., Converse is about a 5.1 mile drive, an easy trip for a family coming in to arrange cremation in person.
