Mt Moriah was wonderful in taking care of my dad's funeral. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during our time of grief..My dad had taken care of all his details and they followed it down to ever last detail. David Freeman was our director and he was outstanding he was on top of ever detail. I would recommend him to anyone in their time of grief he is wonderful....
thank you for all u did for my family.

The staff at Mount Moriah were friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. All the logistical items were clear, and they took the time to explain everything in detail, that was very much appreciated.
Mathew was wonderful in making us comfortable with the process of planning all the way with seeing the funeral and burial through until the end. It made our process bearable and felt very well taken care of. Thank you so much!
Courtney Rogers and staff did an excellent job with my Uncle's funeral.
I was extremely impressed with how nice the service was. Would recommend Mount Moriah to anyone. Thank You.
Very professional and comforting. Organized and made as comfortable as possible.
Above and beyond accommodating service. Very professional and respectful.
My family arrived at the cemetery to find they had not set up the sight, or done anything for the services. We watched them drive over head stones with a 1 ton truck trying to get everything ready. They then dropped one corner of the casket while trying to get the site set up.
My husband and I went to make our funeral plans. Everyone was friendly and gave us a very relaxed feeling.
No pressure was put on to chose anything we were not interested in.
All and in all it was done very professionally.
Was very pleased with all the services at Mount Mariah. Everything went seemlessly. Made a not so very good situation losing my father to a very pleasant experience. Would highly recommend their services to anyone.
The staff at Mount Moriah-Freeman were wonderful. They made a difficult time as easy as possible and were there to assist every step of the way. Cannot give them enough stars.
Mt. Moriah assisted our family with the upmost respect and professionalism. We are very grateful.
Everything was handled professionally they were on top of everything making it much easier on the family.
Thank You
They were very professional and caring. Helped us through a difficult time.
Rodney was exception, caring, sensitive and really made us comfortable and no pressure. He kept worrying about heath as I was admitted to hospital day after Pati died and want the best care for me. Caroline was great at finding sites for us but seem confused and the info the headstone. That does not take away her concern and help. Overall excellent service.
I was quite pleased with the complete process of my Wife s funeral.
The staff is quite comforting in a time of loss, I have never been through this and they helped with everything.
We only had a visitation for my husband, but Mt. Moriah handled everything smoothly and quietly working in the background taking care of the wishes of the family. They provided us a quality time to visit with friends and family. Anything I needed they were right on it and it was taken care of. I really appreciate the care they gave us.
I always give Mt Moriah a top rating. The Green and and their staff have taken care of my family innumerable times.
My parents John and Margaret Fischer, my siblings, Mary Ann Rose, Betty Huffman" Shirley Higginbotham, her husband Eugene.
I am happy that my husband Tony has his temporary presence close by.
Although we moved to Florida, Kansas City is home. My dad helped by I l d the Union Station" went off to WWI only to return and work on the Liberty Memorial.
My mother was a Harvey Girl for Fred Harvey"s in that historic building. I have written short stories published in Amazon about them.
My only regret us the turmoil created by some family dynamics which increased my sadness
I would suggest, although Courtney was wonderful and definitely an asset, that listening even closer as we Don"t always want to share our linen. But, then I should have articulated with more alarm that it needed to be extremely pruvate.
Perhaps a mention of Dignity website could be mentioned particularly when lived ones stipulate no service
Again, you get the best rating ever and U hope my plan for the future will be noted as very private.
Thank you again. You were all wonderfully understanding and my deepest apology for my family who seem to have not matured
We held my father's funeral here and all I can say is we had an amazing experience. We worked with David Freeman and had a very professional and dignifying experience. My father's funeral was perfect. David helped us schedule the military burial that my father would have really enjoyed. I don't know how many people came up to me saying that the funeral was one of the best funeral experiences that they have ever been to. I would not have changed one thing. Highly recommend working with David!!
We had a pre-planned funeral with Mt. Moriah. They could not have been better to work with. Courtney Rogers was professional, courteous, and great to work with. The team executed everything perfectly and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Mt.Moriah are the utmost professional in areas of bereavement and funeral services which were quite satisfactory. I highly recommend Mt.Moriah to anyone who finds themselves in the predicament of burying a loved one.Mt.Moriah's level of commitment and care is top notch!
Very courteous, concerned,professional, and efficient. Very pleased with every aspect. Did not try to upsell, simply presented alternatives. I definitely recommend using them. 5 stars
Mount Moriah staff knew what our family needed before we asked. The staff was exceptionally kind, caring and efficient.
Everything was well done and coordinated. All very responsive
My husband and I had the unfortunate experience of making arrangements for our 3 month old son. Mount Moriah staff could not have been more kind to us. We worked with Don Lewis, Susie Self, and David. They were each very empathic. They were willing to make the process fit our needs, they do not have a "cookie cutter" approach when it comes to arrangements and services. They want each family to have whatever arrangement will result in peace and closure.
Mount Moriah was the best choice we ever made. The gentleman who picked up our loved one after he passed show such care and 100% dignity with respect. The service for our loved one was small and simple but mount moriah helped make it thoughtful and showed such care with every little detail that we hadn't even thought about. The staff is 110% forever in our hearts
During these very challenging times, the team at Mt Moriah really worked with us to give our mom the send off she deserved. Our mom always said she wanted a "parade" when she passed. In the Covid environment with a limit of 8 people allowed to attend, that was going to be next to impossible! When we suggested a drive-thru visitation parade, though nothing like that had never done anything like that before, they were all in... and more than 75 cars were able to drive thru and pay their respects! In addition, the service which was broadcast live on Facebook has received more than 1,400 views! Thank you David, Rodney, Herbert and the entire Mt. Moriah team for giving our mom the special day we'd always hoped to give her!
Bob Brown has always be very professional and helpful. We feel at ease now knowing we have everything planned.
Very professional and caring. Try very hard to do what ever you want and take the pressure off of preparing for a sad event.
Mt Moriah and the person that mainly helped me most of the time was the best. His name was Matthew Roenning. He Helped me every inch of the way, day by day. The funeral was the best. I m thankful we had everyone who worked on my husbands funeral. I am so very pleased.
Thank you
Margie (Margaret) Gray
Matt went above and beyond and made my Dad's Celebration of Life fantastic. I had people telling me for months that they had never been to a service like it or as nice as it.
My family and I had a good experience with planning my husband Emmett's burial service at Mt. Moriah. Your employee staff were very helpful and gracious to the Hull family and friends! I truly appreciate everything you did to help us through our time of sorrow! Thank you, Donna Hull
I am glad we were able to have 50 people at my mother's funeral. They were very supportive to our needs and upgraded my mother's basket because they purchased their burial plans over 30 years ago and the casket they ordered was no longer made. The plan was difficult to read because it was handwritten. I'm sure with the advanced technology it won't be difficult for future families. So glad my parents did a prepaid burial plan, it made it so much easier in our time of grief.
They were very considerate of our situation.Courtney was helpful with options.
For being such a sad time for us, Hilton and Madonna couldn't have been more caring to us. They were very thoughtful and the Funeral Director went out of his way to help us with the service and the setup of the display.
We were very touched. Thank you for all you did.
Don at Mt Moriah treated me as someone special. I couldn t ask for more. This process was hard, but Don made it easier.
Hylton Lawrence took spectacular care of our family after my mom passed. He gave us many ideas for the service and had an outstanding attention to detail. Everything was wonderful, including allowing us to set up early with tons of keepsakes and photos, having the service go seamlessly and even packing up for us and allowing me to pick everything up two days later. We have a number of family members at Mt. Moriah and they put together maps so we could find all of them to pay our respects. We appreciated all they did and everyone was wonderful!
The service was very confortable and relaxed. Everyone was so pleasent to us. It was unfortunate that she had no family and few frlends left in Kansas City to be there to share it with us. Id like to thank you again for everything.

Great, historic resting place for families in the Kansas City area. If you need help locating a grave or planning a service, these folks are fantastic. Ask for Family Service Counselors - Caroline or Suzy.
My father passed away 6 months ago. I received an apology 2 months ago for his name not being engraved on the tombstone. At that time I was informed they would have his name engraved within a month. His name still has not been engraved. It is such a shame that we already paid for services and the engraving which we are apparently not going to get. He was a veteran that fought for our country. The nicest guy you would ever know. It is such a shame a funeral home would cheat a veteran of just this last request. This is no different than grave robbing and fraud. By next month, I fully intend to contact multiple news channels about this, inform the better business borough, and the state attorney general if we cannot get what was already paid for 6 months ago.
The staff at Mount Moriah were exceptional. They were attentive to our needs and requests. Even the smallest details were handled with great care. Their ability to be both personal and professional was what made our experience such a good one.
Real good people my mother in law in a tragic triple homicide while experiencing a home invation one of the victims her husband remains where sent back to his country of origin . Both her and her son who was only 18 where buried at this cementery by a plot donated by these very generous people . You could emagine hardshipped this cause my family and the stress it out on wife we lived 1800 miles away at the time . So this really came as a blessing so I can't help but have apreciation for these nice people . Thank you and much love .
We have been paying on our Plans & Grave Marker now for several months & all going well.
Regarding the PreNeed presentation by Madonna at Holmes Mt. Moriah this too was done in a professional manner.
I do have one question that has not received a consistant answer. The Grave Marker was purchased with full Month Day & Year for birth & death plates.
We understood the quoted/contracted price to be inclusive of both dates: birth & death. Is this a correct understanding? When I have followed up with Holmes Rd. staff, I get two different answers.
Thank you for your response.

We unexpectedly lost our mom late on New Year s Eve. Not only did Matt come in on New Years Day to meet with our whole family but so did Herb and the Reverend. They went above and beyond every step of the way! Any time I needed help Matt was available and super helpful! The loss of our mother was the worst possible thing that could of happened and the people at Mt Moriah were able to help us through this extremely difficult time with so much ease! We truly wouldn t of made it through this difficult process without the help and support of Matt especially at Mt Moriah. Thank you!
Very professional, helpful and caring employees. Don helped coordinate everything. I would highly recommend!
In the moments and days before and during the visitation and wake for our Dad, we didn't realize how important every tiny detail was. The staff at Mt. Moriah handled everything beautifully, communicated well with our family and made sure that our Dad had the perfect sending off. I especially want to thank Don Lewis, the keeper of mints, bottled water and encouraging smiles. He's a gem.
Very sensitive handling, not pushy at all. Expressed genuine empathy for our loss.
Although it has been extremely difficult to cope with our loss 1300 miles away, the care and availability of all staff at Mt. Moriah was phenomenal. Our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.
Horrible experience! Worst part was the abject failure of the live stream. People were unable to tune in. According to people it was unwatchable , between buffering and the name on live feed was some other woman s name. Very unprofessional. The free Facebook platform was inadequate for the volume of people accessing the site. Well into the Covid crisis one would expect it to be seamless.
Also original appointment was scheduled with me the day before and I was not notified that another director would stand in. Dragged my 101 year old mother there and no courtesy of a phone call. Passed on to another who was not what I expected. And, to top it off, the body was prepared with facial hair, contrary to instructions. Fortunately not many witnessed this due to Covid visitation was suspended. So disappointed
I was very satisfied with the funeral all of the staff was very supportive and made the process easier for the family . Thank you., Robert Swearingen
Although the circumstances were sad, the experience was superb! The folks at Mount Mariah were nothing short of awesome! They made us feel totally comfortable and went out of their way to meet all of our requests with compassion and complete professionalism. A special hats off to Patty Bruier who saw to every last detail and Emma of Classic Catering.
Grandma had a gravesite here, but her funeral service with another location. We had to stop by to sign contract (Sure come on by - oh please wait 30 minutes for someone to be available) and were met with a very unprofessional young lady ('We have to wear dark suits and It was so hot I almost died' is not a comment you make to a grieving family) who regaled us with stories of everything that has gone wrong in the past, this was not at all comforting. The grounds are pretty though not sure how well kept since the marble headstone (that was placed when Grandpa passed) is cracked. If this hadn't been where Grandpa was buried I would have considered using a different location.
During one of the most emotional challenging time in my family s life , Mount Moriah Funeral Home was able to offer guidance and support. My husband and I never planned that he would die from his cancer as we were fighting so hard to survive. The morning he passed at 5:30 in the morning after over two days in ICU had been exhausting both physically as well as emotionally. I had just got my children settled and the hospital called to ask who was picking up my husband s body. I haven t slept in close to 72 hours and had no idea. I reached out to friends and Mount Moriah came as a recommendation. I made a call and they were empathetic and understood that I needed to address the hospital needs at that time. They told me they would arrange transport and that I needed to rest and they would follow up with me in afternoon to schedule a time to make plans. They listened to our specific ideas and helped them become a reality. A Celebration of Life Celebration was accommodated at their facility. I highly recommend this facility and even more their compassionate staff. They truly made my husband s service the memory we were trying to create for our family and the community.
It feels good to know that I'm in charge, even in my death. I planned my funeral exactly how I want it to be. I dont want anyone else to have to worry about making any arrangements or decisions during their grief. It really is empowering. I urge everyone to do the same and ease this burden for your loved ones.
Mt. Moriah gave the best service! They were very personable and very helpful in planning the memorial service, the internment. They helped provide music for the service and helped put things in my car after the service.
Mount Moriah always extends the highest care and attention to big as well as little issues. They make difficult times better by providing a place and way as part of the path of grief.
