🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

The iconic Resthaven Cemetery Cross is getting a long-overdue makeover!

All of the original wiring and lighting are being completely replaced with new, energy-efficient LED lights that will shine brighter than ever—once again illuminating the Wichita night sky. The outer panels, which were originally lightweight plastic, are being replaced with stronger white panels and securely wired into place to better withstand those famous Kansas winds.

After months of weather delays (thanks to one very rainy spring, summer and fall), we’re thrilled to finally see this restoration come to life. We can’t wait to share more photos as the project progresses—stay tuned for the big reveal!

✨ Brighter. Stronger. Restored

We’ve Made the News — and Capone’s the Star! 🎬🐾

Not your typical headline, but we’re thrilled to share that Capone made his TV debut on KSN TV! After stealing hearts at his first-ever Woofstock appearance just weeks ago, our beloved pup has officially gone viral.

Capone has been part of our family since he was just a baby. Alongside his amazing human, Annie Morris of Dignity Memorial Wichita, he’s been bringing warmth, comfort, and a few tail wags to the halls of DeVorss Flanagan-Hunt Mortuary and beyond. From brightening the days of residents in assisted living communities to offering gentle support to families during difficult times, Capone is truly making a difference.

💛 Want Capone to visit you or your organization? Send us a message DeVorss Flanagan-Hunt Mortuary — he’d love to stop by and say hello!

Roman soldiers legally were not allowed to marry, so they legitimized their relationships in death by dedicating gravestones of their loved ones. This practice transferred to Britain while military forts were shared by the Romans and the British.

Life has a soundtrack. From the time we are children, music finds its way into our days and nights and links us to important moments. It brings us joy and comfort. Whether classical or gospel, mournful or uplifting, funeral music should reflect the personal preferences, religious traditions and cultural aspects of the person being remembered. https://bit.ly/3RRXxc7

The Mummies of Guanajuato, Mexico are a number of naturally mummified bodies interred during a cholera outbreak in 1833. The human bodies appear to have been disinterred between 1870 and 1958. During that time, a local tax was in place requiring a fee to be paid for "perpetual" burial. Some bodies for which the tax was not paid were disinterred and found in a perfectly and naturally mummified state.
