“Faith and family do not take away the pain of loss,
but they give us the strength to walk through it together.”
At Greenlawn, our focus has always been shaped by something deeper than the tasks of each day. Since our beginnings in 1905, we have believed in the power of togetherness, placing our trust in faith, family, and a strong work ethic. Guided by these values, we have grown from a single cemetery into six funeral homes that proudly serve families across Missouri. Though our reach has expanded, our passion remains the same: to offer compassionate care rooted in the traditions and principles that have guided us for generations.
Family Centered Support
Our team is committed to providing a professional and respectful setting where families can gather, reflect, and honor their loved one. Research has shown that families who take the time to reflect, celebrate, and grieve are better able to adjust to the loss of a loved one. This is why family is central to our work, and why we encourage each family to follow what feels right for them during end-of-life planning.
We recognize that during times of loss, families rely on clear guidance, dependable support, and a steady environment to make important decisions. Every family we serve has unique traditions and preferences, requiring careful attention to detail. From the initial consultation to the completion of services, our staff works to ensure that every aspect of the process is handled with consistency, clarity, and care. It is our privilege to support families with reliable service grounded in more than a century of experience.
Faith Centered Care
An essential component of the care we provide is acknowledging the faith background of the families we serve. We recognize the important role that faith and spiritual beliefs play in guiding families through the end-of-life process. By respecting individual traditions and practices, we provide services that are both meaningful and supportive, helping families find comfort and clarity during difficult times.
Our team works closely with families to ensure that ceremonies, rituals, and memorial services honor their spiritual needs. Whether through prayer, scripture readings, music, or other observances, we strive to create a respectful environment that reflects each family’s beliefs. When desired, integrating faith into our services helps families navigate grief with dignity, purpose, and reassurance.
Values Driven Practice
Overall, our work is guided by a set of core values that shape every interaction and service we provide. A legacy of reliability, proactive responsiveness, and professional integrity forms the foundation of our practice, ensuring the highest level of care and respect for the families we serve.
By grounding our work in these values, we create an environment where families can navigate difficult moments. Every decision, every detail, and every interaction is approached with thoughtfulness and professionalism, reflecting our commitment to honoring each life and each family’s unique journey. It is through this consistent dedication that we continue to provide care that is both meaningful and enduring.
From sanatorium I’ve read, I’d surely would be led to choose you as my caretakers of my body… Only problem is on my Social security Insurance Level, It would totally be unaffordable. Sorry to say. I even wonder to myself what’s going to be done with my body when the appointed time comes ! I just don’t know. I’m 66yrs now, doing fairly well, But nobody knows when they’ll die.. yes death is Inevitable, Sure wish I knew how to have a plan ! Oh well have a Nice Day 😄
