"Excellent customer service, they made you feel like you were their only customer. Very helpful and explained what we should expect during the process. They basically took care of our needs during this time. They contacted DFW National Cemetery for us which made it a smooth experience. Definitely will use them again."

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

My heart is broken in so many ways!
Lisa,
You will be missed. Thank you for reaching out and including me in your life. I appreciate all the things you taught me about dying fabrics. Being by my side as we navigated through leadership roles in the DAFA group. You were always there to lend a helping hand. May you rest in peace.
Patrick and family I pray for your peace and healing during this difficult time.
Lisa was a diamond in every way, her multifaceted art talent made a difference in the hearts of so many. If I can be even half the friend Lisa was, my time on earth will not have been wasted. We love you Lisa
Im gutted and so sorry for your Loss Patrick.
It was such a joy to have known Lisa with the limited time I spent with y’all.
I met Lisa through her husband Patrick O’Halloran. My family and I attended a few of her Easter Egg hunt and Mardi Gras parties. Lisa was an easy going and very warm person. From the time we met her we have grown very fond of her and Patrick. My children loved her gentle and loving ways she shared her knowledge of Creative Art; I still remember her teaching us various ways to decorate Easter eggs.
Lisa, all the memories of you we hold dear. It’s been a privilege to have known you. We will miss you always.
Good-bye Dear Friend
Lisa was such a lovely person and talented artist. I feel lucky to have known her and will cherish her memory.
Lisa was my very dear friend for over 50 years. She was such a creative, talented, fearless, and generous person… that will live on in my heart and memory as an ongoing inspiration.
My deepest sympathies, in particular for Patrick and sister Sue; but really for all of us who knew and loved her.
My deepest condolences to Patrick & all who loved Lisa. We moved from Dallas shortly after Lisa came to DAFA so we were not well acquainted. Because I maintained my membership in DAFA I was aware of her talents & how much she has meant over these years to the organization.
Patrick, this was a lovely write up honoring Lisa. She will be missed in so many ways. I always admired her skills and determination. So much talent an desire to help. I will never forget her talking about her project management plan for that huge shibori/indigo piece ! Sending love to you all. I am blessed to have known her and her works.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Lisa, but it is clear she was a talented, dignified, and caring woman. The shared memories with those she knew, and her art for those she did not, will live on forever. My heart goes out to Patrick and her family, sending much love and blessings to you all xx
Aunt Lisa had such an elegant essence, and as a kid, I often bragged about visiting my “French” aunt to my friends (I’m not sure whether or not we’re of French blood lol). I’m proud of her, and I wish I was capable of getting in touch with her sense of fine art. I’ll never forget the beautiful memories we made, as a family, when we’d go to Six Flags every year. The Texas Giant was no match for us. When I remember Aunt Lisa, her joyful laughter comes to mind.
It’s very difficult to believe Lisa is no longer with us.I was happy to have worked with her
In DAFA and shared so many great projects
with such a fine artist and warm loving person! I am privileged to have a piece of her hand dyed art hanging on my wall to remember her . I miss her and pray for healing for Patrick and family .
For Patrick and Lisa’s family.
The world has lost a beautiful bright light.
May you rest with God and all those you love in a place where the sun never sets.
Be at peace.
Your classmate.
With love

Lisa was a true and generous friend. We all know how much she loved to entertain, and evenings with her and Patrick, and usually many others, were always great fun and sometimes magical. My wife, Terry, and I, party hardy as we are, were often the last ones to kick ourselves out of their house in the wee hours, after much animated conversation regarding cabbages and kings. And perhaps a wee tipple here and there. But beyond our close friendship there was, of course, Lisa’s boundless energy and talent. Her forms of expression were many and varied, from the creative party themes to her astonishing fabric art. Not content to merely create, Lisa eagerly took leadership positions in the art community. They will miss her dearly, but not as much as we will. Farewell, beloved friend!
Dawn and I lost a best friend with Lisa. It seems so surreal since our lives were so intertwined with Lisa and Patrick. It’s bothered me so much because I realize Lisa was family and it hurts to lose family.
I’d known her for 40 years: from humble beginnings as a quick witted waitress through Nieman Marcus, defense work to working on and establishing her own art.
We both tested out our new prospective spouses at the Atlanta Olympics which lead to decades of traveling , late dinners and wine exploration.She did find the love of her life in Patrick and-she could not done better.
Lisa was such a warm and outgoing person. Always ready to lend a hand or an ear. I’ll miss her infectious laugh, her humor and her company.

Sorry for the huge loss in your life, Pat, and of course her family and friends. I remember only good things of Lisa from ye olde Seville days. Keep cherishing always…
Patrick: I am so sorry to hear about Lisa. She sounds like a wonderful person. Tony
