About Us
The Carnes Brothers have dedicated their lives to the service of others. They
are lifetime Galvestonians by choice; aware of all the history of this grand
community and involved in every aspect of it. They are able to connect families
with every resource that is available from anywhere in the world. Being
completely involved in every aspect of Galveston life has afforded them many
opportunities that only come with many years of participation. This is a
resource that is shared with the families they serve.
