About Craig Ranch
Craig Ranch is a master-planned mixed-use community in southeast McKinney, roughly bounded by SH-121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway), Custer Road, Stacy Road, and Alma Drive. The neighborhood is anchored by TPC Craig Ranch — the PGA TOUR's Byron Nelson host course — and the Cooper Aerobics Center at Craig Ranch, one of Kenneth Cooper's preventive-medicine campuses. Housing runs from luxury single-family estates fronting the golf course to newer townhomes and rental communities near the retail core. The population is a mix of corporate-transfer families relocated to the Toyota, Liberty Mutual, and JPMorgan Chase campuses at Legacy West and long-tenured Collin County families who came for the schools (Frisco ISD serves most of Craig Ranch). We coordinate Protestant, Catholic, non-denominational, and multicultural services with area congregations.
ZIP codes served: 75070 (primary), with adjacent 75071 and 75035 addresses common on the southern edge near Stacy Road.
Transfer time from our care center: approximately 35–45 minutes without traffic from our Dallas care center at 12101 Greenville Ave. via US-75 North to SH-121; longer during weekday commute windows. For at-need calls, our on-call team is dispatched within minutes of your first call, regardless of hour.

At-need response in Craig Ranch
For families in Craig Ranch, our team dispatches immediately from our Dallas care center. When you call, we do not wait for a shift change or morning business hours. Authorization, transfer from home, hospital, or hospice, and initial arrangement planning can all begin within the first hour. Carlos Vargas, Texas Licensed Funeral Director (TFSC #119648), personally oversees every Craig Ranch arrangement — TFSC Establishment License No. 4964.

Common questions from Craig Ranch families
How quickly can you respond to a death at a Craig Ranch home?
Once you call (214) 550-7369, our on-call director confirms the situation, walks you through the next few minutes on the phone, and dispatches a transfer team. From our Dallas care center, arrival in Craig Ranch typically takes 35–45 minutes off-peak. If death occurred under hospice, we coordinate with the nurse; if unexpected, we wait for EMS or Collin County ME release before transfer.
Which cemetery do most Craig Ranch families choose?
Preferences split by faith tradition and family history. Non-denominational families most often use Ridgeview Memorial Park in Allen for its proximity and setting. Longtime McKinney families frequently choose Pecan Grove Memorial Park. Catholic families sometimes prefer diocesan cemetery sections; we coordinate with the family's parish. Veterans and eligible spouses are entitled to no-cost interment at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery; we handle the VA paperwork.
Can services be held on-site at TPC Craig Ranch or another neighborhood venue?
Yes. The TPC Craig Ranch clubhouse and other Craig Ranch event venues can host celebration-of-life receptions after a graveside or church service. We handle logistics between the venue, the officiant, and the cemetery — you make one call to us and we manage the sequence.
Do you offer bilingual (Spanish) service coordination?
Yes. Our care team includes bilingual English/Spanish staff, and we regularly coordinate services with Saint Gabriel the Archangel and other bilingual parishes serving the McKinney area. Arrangement conferences, printed materials, and family communications are all available in Spanish. See our página en español.
