Healing Begins Here
Overland Park Funeral Chapel was established by the Newcomer Family in 1963 at the corner of 82nd Street & Metcalf Avenue to serve the growing Overland Park community. For decades the funeral home served families experiencing loss as the community continued to grow south. Over the years the funeral chapel would see 2 generations of the Newcomer family and 2 publicly traded companies own and operate the business. In May of 2014 a small, private company of funeral and cemetery professionals acquired the business and assumed operations. As part of the purchase agreement the Signature Group would not be allowed to use the Newcomer Name. The Signature Group dedicated itself to becoming the leading provider of funeral and cemetery services in the area. In 2016 the chapel went through phase 1 of a massive restoration. Through a partnership with KC Modern we were able to restore the building back to it’s original, mid century modern design and create a truly unique space unlike any other. Today the funeral chapel is a community business, serving and supporting greater Johnson County and Kansas City. Through our core values of Respect for the Family, Respect for the Individual, and Respect for the Profession we have returned the business to its grass roots while also evolving to the ever changing needs of today's consumer. We serve families with quality, compassionate care, all the while creating memorial events that help begin the healing process of grief. With a staff caring professionals and a truly flexible and unique space, Overland Park Funeral Chapel is changing the way families memorialize and celebrate lives. Through our engagement with families we develop a relationship built on respect, value, care and compassion. We custom tailor events just as elaborate or simple as our clients wish. No two people are the same and nor should their life’s celebration be. We have the courage to take the hands of the families that trust in us and guide them to let the healing begin here. We invite you to visit us at one of our two locations in beautiful Overland Park, KS.
