Bastrop County lies along the Colorado River just 30 miles southeast of downtown Austin. The county seat, Bastrop, is a picture-postcard Texas town with a historic Main Street, the Lost Pines forest, and Bastrop State Park. Elgin, known as the "Sausage Capital of Texas," draws visitors from across the state. Smithville, on the county's southern edge, is famous as the filming location of the movie "Hope Floats" and its small-town charm.
With a population of approximately 105,000 that has nearly doubled in the last decade, Bastrop County is attracting new residents priced out of Austin proper along with longtime ranch and farm families. This growth means more families need to plan ahead financially — and burial insurance is a key part of that plan.
