Funeral home & cremation services for The Colony families.

Which county handles a death in The Colony?

Denton County — a surprise to many families who assume The Colony files with Collin County like its Plano and Frisco neighbors. Death certificates and permits go through Denton County, and when medical-examiner jurisdiction applies we coordinate with the Denton County Medical Examiner's Office. We handle every filing at no additional charge.
