Garnand Funeral Homes - Serving Southwest Kansas

Having served hundreds of families over the three generations we’ve been in business, we realize how difficult it is for people after the loss of a loved one. We understand that planning a funeral involves making difficult decisions at a very emotional and highly charged time. We also understand that a quality funeral service doesn’t have to cost a fortune. We know the value people place on family and the value of a dollar.

As a vital part of our unwavering commitment to excellence in service, we’re always searching for ways to greatly reduce this emotional and oftentimes financial burden that accompanies the loss of a close loved one. Funeral prearrangement meets this need.

Our staff of trained and certified Advance Funeral Planning Professionals are pre-planning specialists. They can provide the insight, experience and professional counseling you deserve, free of charge or obligation. By meeting with one of our staff, face to face, you can receive qualified answers to individual questions such as:

What vital papers are needed to collect death benefits due me?
When a death occurs, who should be contacted first?
If I move, does my funeral plan and protection move with me? If so, how?
Do you offer convenient, affordable payment plans?
How does funeral prearrangement affect Social Security or Medicaid?
I’m a veteran. Does the VA pay me any burial benefits? If so, how much?

At Garnand Funeral Homes, our plans fully qualify for SSI and or Medicaid recipients.

The choice is yours, as personal as you wish, made with us in total confidence – without undue pressure. Think carefully about what will be best for you and your family, and fully discuss why you desire certain arrangements and accompanying merchandise. By doing so today, you are assured peace of mind for you and your loved ones before the time of need.
