Our History. Our Legacy. Our Promise.

In the 1800s, John Convery set up his livery stable and funeral business in what would become downtown Laredo. In 1917, H. L. Jackson purchased the funeral establishment from Mr. Convey's widow and together with his sons, operated it as Jackson Funeral Home. The Jackson Funeral Home served Laredo for well over fifty years, changing hands once in the 1970’s when it was purchased by Services Corporation International. In 1991, Fred Buitron purchased Jackson Funeral Home, changed the name to Buitron Funeral Home, and moved to its present address at the old Laredo Air Force Base. In 2007, Fred Dickey, Jr. purchased Buitron Funeral Home.

Today, we serve Laredo as Fred Dickey Funeral and Cremation Services, Buitron Chapel, and we are aware of the long legacy of service that is our heritage. As we move forward, we pledge to not only uphold this legacy, but to exceed all expectations. Excellence is our minimum standard. Families who turn to us will be treated with no other measure. That is our goal, and our promise.
