We offer flexible options so you can create a service that truly reflects your loved one.

Our close connection to Shawnee Mission Memory Gardens also allows families to plan both funeral and cemetery arrangements in one place—making the process more seamless and easier to navigate.

A comfortable place to gather

Our space was thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming and familiar rather than formal or overwhelming. Families often tell us how much they appreciate being able to sit down, talk through options and plan at their own pace in a calm, supportive environment.

Military and veterans burials

Shawnee Mission Memory Gardens is known by many area veterans and veteran organizations for our most distinguishing feature: the Garden of Valor. This monument honors our veterans from all branches of service by proudly flying the flag of each service branch, along with our beloved U.S. and Kansas flags.

Since its installation in the '80s, our cemetery monument to freedom has not only been the focus of many Memorial Day ceremonies, but it has also made our Garden of Valor the choice location for hundreds of proud veterans and military services.

At our Shawnee cemetery, you'll find a compassionate team waiting to help you with your burial needs. It is our privilege to serve you with the dignity and value you deserve. Please don't hesitate to call on us and know we're here to help.
