Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, located in Wyandotte County and also known as Butler Funeral Home, is part of the Dignity Memorial national network of family cemetery and funeral service providers. The cemetery property is one of the most beautiful in the area, and white marble statuary, paintings, sculptures and landmarks throughout the property offer a place of tranquility, peace, beauty and security for the memorialization of loved ones. Since 1905, the Butler Funeral Home has met the needs of Kansas City and surrounding community residents. Meeting the needs of all religious backgrounds, the cemetery has provided one of the loveliest and serene resting places in the county since the late 1940s. The sprawling and relatively flat grounds of the property offer entombment, aboveground monuments, and flush-to-ground monuments, depending on the wishes and needs of surviving family members. The sprawling acres of the property are well kept, and mature trees offer shade throughout the year. Glorious color provided by deciduous trees, plants and shrubbery as well as flowerbeds precisely placed throughout the grounds offer colorful blasts of color and heady scents and aromas in spring, summer and fall. An indoor columbarium with gorgeous views offers a place of solitude and dignity for those who desire cremation, and windowed nooks and crannies, which invite family members to place meaningful mementoes of their loved ones for viewing. Outdoor memorial walls and columbarium options are also available. The property is surrounded by a thick grove of trees, and easily accessible driving and walkways throughout the property offer access to all corners of both older and newer portions of the cemetery. Sections with names such as Old Rugged Cross, Meditation, Valor, Everlasting Life and Sermon on the Mount offer not only beautiful locations, but also a number of gorgeous sculptures such as Jesus at the Well, Jesus sitting or kneeling, and a beautiful sundial. Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens is accessible northeast of the intersection of Interstates 70, known as the Kansas Turnpike, or 435, running north and south due west of downtown Kansas City. Surrounded by small lakes, rivers and streams, the relatively rural setting is close to accommodations found in nearby Kansas City and Overland Park. |
