ABOUT US
Why Choose Us
At VanArsdale Funeral Services, we strive to make the funeral planning process as easy as possible for the families we serve. That commitment begins at step one, offering arrangement and pre-planning meetings at one of our three locations or in the comfort of your home. Our small staff ensures that every step of the process you are working with a familiar face, but when needed, are large enough to accommodate highly attended services and coordinate with outside venues. Personalization and attention to detail is as important to us as it is to the families we serve, which is why we offer personalized memorial videos, service folders, caskets, urns, headstone design and much more.
In November 2023, we took our commitment to top tier care to include on-site cremation facilities attached to Jones VanArsdale Funeral Home & Crematory in Lebo. Here, we perform cremations for all 3 of our locations, directly next door to our owners’ home. We are the only cremation facility in Coffey, Osage, and Greenwood counties and the surrounding areas. We pride ourselves in our families knowing exactly who they are working with by avoiding the need for third-party crematories.
Online Memorial
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Video
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
Daily Grief Steps Emails
We offer one year of free daily grief support emails to the families we serve. It is important to us that we continue to comfort our families through the difficult days that the first year of grieving can bring.
