Terrace Park Funeral Home & Cemetery

What Terrace Park Funeral Home & Cemetery does

Terrace Park Funeral Home & Cemetery operates a single combined funeral home and cemetery in the Northland area of Kansas City, Missouri. The site covers 140 acres and includes a 13,000 square foot modern facility with a chapel seating approximately 180, two visitation rooms, a reception room, and an on-site crematory. The business was founded in 1968 (operating historically as Mount Moriah), merged with Berger Funeral Home of Smithville, Missouri in 1997, and was acquired in 2014 by The Signature Memorial Group from a Service Corporation International affiliate, after which it was rebranded to its current name.

The company offers traditional burial services, cremation services with multiple disposition options, personalized memorial ceremonies, veteran-specific services, and permanent placement via columbarium niches and mausoleum crypts. Digital memorialization is delivered through a partnership with Cumulus, providing memory clouds and location-mapped digital legacies; the website/arrangement experience is supported by the Tukios platform. Pre-planning is formalized through a Final Wishes Planner and an online pre-planning form.

Revenue is generated from one-time at-need service fees and merchandise sales (caskets, urns, vaults, monuments) plus pre-arranged funeral and cemetery contracts with optional pre-funding, supplemented by recurring perpetual-care contracts on the cemetery side. Pricing follows an itemized General Price List (GPL) with quote-based, pay-as-you-go billing. Distribution is primarily direct via in-person arrangement conferences, with 24/7 phone support and virtual appointments as secondary channels. The company serves individual families in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
