About Us

In 1980 my father, mother and I were fortunate enough to establish 2 new funeral homes for the families we serve in Garden City and Harrisonville, Missouri and the surrounding communities. Occasionally, a crowd is present for a funeral service that even our large chapels cannot hold. Our chapels as the rest of the funeral home is wired to provide audio to every room in the building.

We have accomplished several “firsts” in funeral service in the communities we serve. We are proud to include, but are not limited to: …”OUR FIRSTS”.
