I feel so fortunate we were referred to Austin Natural Funerals when my young child passed away unexpectedly – through that terrible time, they handled EVERYTHING with 1 day notice with such compassion, and attention to detail. They treated us, and our boy, like family, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I was in no position to organize anything in the hours and day after my baby passed, and I feel so incredibly fortunate that they handled everything I wouldn’t have thought of with grace, beauty and an eye towards cherishing him. They hosted a beautiful graveside funeral at Eloise Woods (with online streaming – their idea), and I always had the comforting perspective that they were caring for their own loved one. Working with them since the funeral, they’ve never lost the compassion, and expertly handled all the legal and administrative requirements effortlessly from our side. I’m eternally grateful to Campbell and Mitzi for going so far above and beyond to help our family during a terrible time.

My husband's illness came on quickly - and took him just as quickly. In times of grief, few, if any, have the emotional energy or mental capacity to plan a funeral. I selected Austin Natural Funerals to handle his arrangements mainly because of proximity to our home. Essentially, I called upon strangers to manage his death and had no choice but to trust. And earn my trust they did. From the team who transported his body to the office staff to Campbell specifically, I cannot offer enough gratitude for their efficiency, integrity, transparency and compassion. I applaud those in the business of death; it takes a special human being to not only plan/manage such an emotional event, but to deal with the equally emotional family. While I do not expect to stay in Austin much longer, I would certainly entrust Austin Natural Funerals to manage my own.

My father, Joseph C. Sultanik, recently passed away unexpectedly at the age of 90. Through connections with his synagogue my family was able to meet the owner of Austin Natural Funerals, Mitzi Chafetz, who was fantastic. She also got us in touch with another member of the company, Campbell Ringel. Mitzi and Campbell were outstanding and helped us take care of my father in the most compassionate way possible. Everything about Austin Natural Funerals’ services from their technology to their very personable staff to the actual funeral and burial of my father was excellent. They coordinated with our Rabbi, provided online streaming, and truly comforted us. I will always have a heartfelt appreciation for what they did for my father and family.

Campbell was so incredibly kind to assist my fiancé and I in purchasing our services ahead of time. We are preparing our prenup and other legal documents so it can be overwhelming when you don't know what you should consider for funeral services, especially as a young couple. She answered all of our questions and helped guide us through the contract to make sure we had all of the information we needed. We're lucky to be able to plan ahead and know that we will be in good hands when the time comes. Campbell you're amazing and thank you for the work you do!!! She has also followed up with us to make sure we have access to our documents online and to check for any further questions, we could not recommend them more!!

I can not say enough about Austin Natural Funerals. More specifically, I worked with Mitzi and mostly Campbell. Both were incredibly personable, took care of any and ALL needs that arose, made us feel like we were the only people they were helping, answered all 3 million of our questions and never made us feel like they were too many, made this huge life transforming event seamless so we could focus on grieving and not the small task that needed to be done, and most importantly, their sincere and loving energy made you feel like you have known them for years and they were taking care of one of their own loved ones. Thank you Mitzi and Campbell. xo

Mitzi Chafetz is an awesome, compassionate, informative, funeral owner and director. I requested and purchased exactly the plot and natural shroud burial in the most peaceful and beautiful wooded burial ground II imagined for myself. Mitzi offered information on a variety of options including any burial ground in the Austin and surrounding areas. She is extremely professional and asks all the necessary questions to assist with pre-planing and pre-purchasing a funeral and a burial site. Whether you prefer a more traditional cemetery burial in any cemetery or a burial in a wooded area, Mitzi will assist you with the best information and compassion.

Our experience could not have been better. Nobody wants to need the services of a funeral home, and it's something we didn't think about or plan for. We learned of Austin Natural Funerals through friends and could not have been more pleased with the service that we received. Our call was answered immediately, they took immediate action to assist us with the difficult logistics of caring for our loved one, and their guidance in selecting and arranging a funeral that was a good fit and affordable was invaluable. Compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and honest are the words that come to mind.

Campbell put so much thought into every detail of my sisters viewing and burial. It felt like she knew her and knew exactly what she would have wanted (down to the unicorn baby’s breath flowers). Everything was so beautiful. People can’t stop talking about how beautiful my sisters burial was and how it was like nothing they had ever experienced before. Not everyone that has this job is always this caring and intentional as Campbell was. I am so thankful from the bottom of my heart for Campbell and Austin Natural Funerals.

I was really fortunate to find Austin Natural Funerals. I was from Denver, in Austin after my brother died suddenly. The Funeral Director, Campbell Ringel, went out of her way to be helpful and communicative during this difficult time. When I called with questions, Campbell was available to take my calls. Austin Natural Funerals provided a very nice, pleasant and clean space for my family's memorial service for my brother. I highly recommend Austin Natural Funerals as an above average and professional mortuary.

My grandmother passed away at the ripe age of 91, and my father and I had no idea what to do or how to do it. Mitzi was a real professional. Very knowledgable. She spoke with sincerity, helped with compassion, and educated us like an old friend that wanted nothing but the best for grandma. Mitzi, my father and I are forever grateful for what you did in helping us provide a proper burial for our beloved. I am sorry it took this long to put our feelings into words, and even these words do not have volume.

My husband died unexpectedly on a Sunday afternoon and always wanted a natural cremation. I called Austin Natural Funerals and Mitzi arranged to collect him very promptly. We wanted to hold a celebration of his life within a few days since it was almost Christmas and folks had travel plans. They were very efficient and meeting our needs whilst showing real compassion at every moment. I cannot overstate how much I appreciated their help. Spencer was a wonderful support at all times.

Austin Natural Funerals was extremely supportive, knowledgable and friendly. They helped us create a beautiful in-home memorial for my mother, guided us to a neat wicket container, and provided very caring and ecologically conscious arrangements for her. I would recommend them based on that experience and the shared values of minimizing the ecological footprint of her final arrangements. Thank you.

We happen to find Austin Natural Funerals by chance and I’m so grateful we did. Funeral director Campbell Ringel couldn’t have been more compassionate and helpful. She said she would be there whenever we needed and she truly was. As painful as our loss was, Austin Natural Funerals made the service portion special and wonderful (is that possible with a memorial?) I appreciate them so much.

Can't recommend this funeral home highly enough - They treated me and my family with care and sensitivity when we were going through a difficult time. Special thanks to Campbell, who helped in every way, lead us through the process, and followed up after the final services to make sure everything was as fine as it could be.

This funeral home’s owner, Mitzi, is so compassionate and thoughtful during a difficult time. She went above and beyond to help the family make the process smooth while taking the time to listen and implement the family’s wishes and needs. I would strongly recommend the services that are provided by this funeral home.

A huge thank you to Campbell and Mitzi for your care and compassion during such a difficult time. I appreciated being able to plan ahead via your website so that during my mom's final days we could focus on our time with her. All communication was handled with grace and thoughtfulness, at just the right times.

Mitzy and the whole team at ANF did a wonderful job taking care of Adrienne Nolen Sudolsky. Great care and comfort provided to all the family and most accommodating to some special requests we made. I highly recommend ANF and all the wonderful staff there.

Campbell and her team made the funerals for our parents warm and special. Highly recommend.

Always friendly supportive folks
