About Las Colinas

Irving and Las Colinas have an enormous Hispanic Catholic population, anchored by St. Luke the Evangelist and Holy Family Catholic Church. Irving is also home to the largest Hindu temple in DFW (DFW Hindu Temple at 1605 N Britain Rd), making it the regional center for Hindu antyesti coordination. Bilingual services in Spanish, English, and other languages are part of the community's funeral tradition.

For funeral planning purposes, Las Colinas is characterized by:

• Bilingual coordination for large Hispanic Catholic community
• Hindu antyesti rites at DFW Hindu Temple

• Geographic convenience to multiple cemetery and church options
