The Kansas City Cremation Resource

We are one of the only family-owned crematories in the entire Kansas City area.  Many other firms use outside contractors to do their cremations.  But we feel it's important to do the entire process ourselves.  Unlike the typical Kansas City cremation society, we are a full service cremation provider.  As the Kansas City cremation experts we have designed this section of our website to help families become knowledgeable about the cremation process.  You will learn about:

We think you will find that Speaks is the Kansas City area cremation provider which brings unparalleled integrity to each cremation.  That is why we are the Kansas City area's cremation experts and one of the few family owned and operated cremation and funeral providers left in the Kansas City area.  Our cremation services are affordable and provide you and your family with the value that you expect and deserve.  You have our guarantee.

Understanding Cremation

We are the area experts on cremation and will be glad to help you.

Code of Cremation Ethics

We are members of the Cremation Association of North American (CANA) and therefore hold ourselves to an unusually high code of ethics in how we operate our crematory.

Cremation Standards of Care

Standards of care are important when considering cremation. As a full-service cremation provider, we operate our crematory in a different manner than discount operations or other full-service providers.

Cremation Options

We own and operate our own crematory and are proud of the level of professional care that we devote to the cremation process.
