We are excited to announce that Warren-McElwain Mortuary & Cremation Services in Lawrence and Eudora, Kansas have joined Newcomer Funeral Service Group. Warren-McElwain complements our group of funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries serving Northeast Kansas.
President, John Newcomer said "Our family has known Lisa Manley, Larry McElwain, Phil Padden and the staff at Warren-McElwain for many years, and we are pleased to welcome them to our company and support them as they provide exceptional service to the families of Lawrence, Eudora and surrounding communities.”
Speaking of the transition, Managing Funeral Director Lisa Manley shared, “My team and I are honored to serve families in Lawrence and Eudora and are deeply grateful for the trust these communities place in us during difficult times.
