About Preston Hollow
Preston Hollow is an established, tree-lined North Dallas neighborhood bounded roughly by Northwest Highway on the south, Forest Lane on the north, the Dallas North Tollway on the east, and Midway Road on the west. It is home to some of the city's oldest Jewish, Catholic, and Episcopal congregations, alongside a growing South Asian and Middle Eastern population served by nearby mosques and temples along the Preston Road corridor. Vargas-London Funeral Home coordinates services with houses of worship, historic cemeteries, and hospice teams throughout the neighborhood, and we are equally comfortable arranging a traditional graveside service at Sparkman/Hillcrest, a Jewish burial requiring tahara and same-day interment, or a simple direct cremation with no service at all.
ZIP codes served: 75225, 75229, 75230, 75220, 75209, 75240. If your address falls just outside these ZIPs — Bluffview, Devonshire, Sparkman Club Estates, Melshire Estates, or the Park Cities boundary at Northwest Highway — the same pricing and response window apply.

Response time from our Dallas base
Our team dispatches from 12101 Greenville Ave. #118, Dallas, TX 75243, which sits directly on US-75 roughly seven miles from the center of Preston Hollow. At-need transfers to a Preston Hollow residence, hospice, or hospital typically arrive within 25 to 40 minutes of a confirmed call, with the outer end of that window reserved for weekday rush hour on the Tollway or Central Expressway. Overnight and weekend response is closer to the 25-minute figure. When you call (214) 550-7369, you speak with a member of our care team — not an answering service — and authorization, transfer, and initial arrangements can all begin within the first hour.

Common questions from Preston Hollow families
How quickly can you respond if a loved one passes at home in Preston Hollow overnight?
Our removal team is on call 24 hours a day and dispatches from Greenville Avenue in Dallas. For a Preston Hollow address, arrival is typically 25 to 40 minutes from the confirmed call. We handle the medical examiner or attending-physician coordination, the death certificate paperwork, and the transfer itself — you do not need to make calls to anyone else before we arrive.
Can you coordinate a same-day Jewish burial with tahara and shomer?
Yes. We work with the chevra kadisha associated with Congregation Shaare Tefilla and can coordinate tahara, tachrichim, a plain wooden aron, and shomer arrangements so the burial takes place within the 24-hour window whenever the medical examiner's release and cemetery scheduling allow. Shearith Israel Memorial Park and the Jewish sections of other DFW cemeteries are all locations we routinely serve.
Do you handle Catholic funeral Masses at parishes like Christ the King or St. Rita?
Yes. Christ the King (8017 Preston Rd) and St. Rita Catholic Community (12521 Inwood Rd) are both within a few minutes of the neighborhood. We schedule directly with the parish office, prepare the pall, coordinate with the funeral director assisting the celebrant, and arrange the procession to Calvary Hill or the family's chosen cemetery afterward.
What is the price difference between a direct cremation and a traditional service?
Direct cremation is $1,750 all in, with no ceremony — the same price we publish everywhere on the site. A memorial cremation with a service is $4,995. A traditional funeral with viewing, embalming, and graveside committal starts at $6,350. Cemetery property, opening/closing, clergy honorariums, and cash advance items (flowers, obituary placement, certified death certificates) are separate and disclosed line-by-line on the itemized statement, exactly as the FTC Funeral Rule requires.
Do you charge extra for arrangements made in the home rather than at your office?
No. Carlos or a member of the care team will come to a Preston Hollow home, hospital room, or hospice bedside at no additional charge for the arrangement conference. Many families find this preferable to a trip to Richardson in the first days after a loss.
