    My family and myself would like to give our sincerest condolences for the surviving family. Even though I did not know Mr. Bousek to well, from what I learned in the time I did spend with him and his family he was a good man, and is survived by a great and loving family. Our prayers are with you as you go through this tough time.

    “Pop” was a sharp, capable, loving man and I am so thankful I got to know him just a little bit. His legacy will be one of love and service – something which I will aspire to duplicate. God bless you all with beautiful memories.
    Our family sends their love to you all.

    Given that Pop was an Engineer, I remember on several Halloween evenings him counting the number of children visiting their home for treats. He would gather his “stats” and know the peak times, therefore, how much candy to buy. Pop will be sorely be missed! WWII Veteran, came from the Great Generation, he loved his grand kids, Mary and his family. Our family sends out our heartfelt condolences to you all.

    Richard was from a generation of engineers who didn’t need to tell us how clever they were. Their efforts and achievements are around us. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

"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!!"
