"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!!"

I miss you tremendously daddy! I will see you some day in Heaven. Hold a spot for us kids
Thank you for raising me as one of your own. We had our differences but you shaped me into the man I am today. May you Rest In Peace and watch over your family from above.
Our deepest sympathy for Tom’s loving family. Much live and prayers.
Wish we hadn’t moved because we had shared such good times on weekends. Tom was a good friend for over 40 years and he will be greatly missed.

We are so sad to hear of Tom’s passing. We always enjiyed seeing and dancing with him.

We remember Tom & Nita from the Texas Reelers square dance club. We took lessons at the same time and learned together. What a wonderful and kind man Tom was. Now he is in heaven with Jesus! See you again one day Tom! Our condolences to Nita and the family. ❤️
You are home in Heaven sweetheart, all the pain & grief is over, every restless tossing passed. Rest in peace my love.
Tom was so much more than a client; a great guy, always in a good mood, inquisitive and curious, never to busy to learn something new. I’m just glad I had the opportunity to spend some more time with him and his lovely wife in the last few months.
He will be sorely missed.
Tom was such a sweet soul. He was a friend to everyone he met. He loved God all his life, he lived Nita and his daughters and he loved his country. He served St Elizabeth Seton as a Knight of Columbus, Mens Club, Sunday mass Usher, he loved square dancing and puzzles. He served in the Air Force and worked as an engineer. An all around GREAT GUY!!
I am sorry to learn of Tom’s passing! Nita was our president of the Seton singles over 40 club and Tom was so active also. The love between Nita and Tom was beautiful. Their love was a great example to all of us.
Rest In Peace, dear friend. You are deeply missed. Our deepest sympathy goes to Nita and all the Braun family. ❤️ And ’s.
Tom welcomed us into the Texas Reelers Square dance club with open arms! We are so glad we had the chance to know him! We will see you again some day Tom. Rest in that heavenly peace that you so earned!
