My dear mother passed away on July 15th, 2024, 476 day's ago!!!…read more As of yesterday Dignity Newcomer's White Chapel at 6600 NE Antioch RD Gladstone, MO. 64119, phone number 816-452-8419 has yet to engrave her stone with the year she passed and fix my father's side with the fading. The paperwork for the PRE-PAID funeral was signed on 7-16-2024. I signed the Interment Order and Authorization form three times now!!! Still to this day they have given me nothing but excuses as to why this has not been done! I have been told every excuses under the sun! Too much rain in KC MO to do the engagement, weather related issues, there are six other families on the list with us being on the top of the list, it normally takes 6 months, there a third party company that does the Engravement so on and so forth!! I took these pictures yesterday, no rain, ground dry and still NOT ENGRAVED!! It took 3 hours to sign to prepaid documents only after I started questioning the price I was going to have to pay. Because I was having to pay the difference they paid for something that was prepaid for!! So yeah I was beyond pissed when the fiqures were not adding up!! Would you not be if it was your Mother or Father?! I was also told sometime after my Father's service this place turned away friends, co-workers, former KC MO police officers and military personnel away, that the service was for family only, which was a complete lie!! You can't tell me that there is only one engraving company with over 510,000 people in the greater Kansas City MO metropolitan area! I call bullshit and I'm over it with all the lies and excuses! All I want is to have my mother and father's stone fixed, done and completed so I can move there stone to were we live now! My sister called this morning speaking to Andrea Olsen, only to receive the exact same lies, excuses, as to why it hasn't been done. To only have Andrea Olsen say she will call once it's completed and hung up on my sister!! I did not post my mother's passing on social media nor did I call every family member at her request for several of her reasons that are irrelevant at this point! If you unfortunately have family member pass away I would highly recommend staying clear of this company period!! I don't want another family to experience the utterly disrespectful way we've been treated and especially the disrespect to the memory of my mother and father. This is NOT HOW YOU TREAT FORMER MILITARY MEMBERS!!!

Located in between The Atkins-Johnson Farm Museum Campus and the Carriage Hills subdivision is one…read moreof Clay County's oldest cemeteries, with burials from the 1820's to 1947. The Shoal Creek Church once stood on this ground from those early years also. You can see a small corner of the original structure and they have erected benches and an entrance frame to show where the church once stood. The cemetery was neglected for decades, but now is fairly well maintained and has plenty of signs explaining the history of the grounds. A good place to explore for local history buffs. The city of Gladstone has done a wonderful job keeping this part of history for disappearing.

I can say that here that meets their mission. He provided a breakdown of the cost of direct cremation, which by far is the most economical (affordable) cost in the entire metro. Their services are the same as others, simply meeting the needs of the community of which the business resides. Upon my research of other funeral and cremation businesses, where the line items are the same, it's just location and not necessarily the quality. Just my opinion.

To some, it may be an odd mix of stone and grass in a growing suburbia, but it can also show the acceptance of the space. This cemetery is not large. It does not take long to explore. One can find weathered headstones from the early 1900s revealing the culture value of a woman as the "wife of" someone. One can find those who gave their lives to military service. While reading the graves or exploring history, here are some things to examine here and at other burial sites. Not every resting place has these feature. - The chronological placement of people - The use of dates (year vs exact day) - Language engraved into the stone - Broken or toppled headstones (don't vandalize) - Weathered headstones that are hard to read - Replaced headstones (stone type doesn't match lifespan) - Footstones (normally with initials) - Stone type and size - Section names - Potter's field (where nameless people are buried) - Maintenance of the grass and other plants - Presence of real or synthetic flowers - Offerings of pebbles or pennies - Trash (to please throw away)
