  • Remi Antania

Didn’t have the best experience with this place. We usually use golden gate funeral home but decided to go with serenity because the facilities were a little more feminine for my mother in laws services with the purple decor. I knew from the initial meeting that it wasn’t going to go well based on how helpful and informative other funeral homes had been before. Things were not explained, and it was not informative at all. We were told a different price the week before due to him not explaining things or making sure we had everything we wanted and needed for the funeral. During the date of the service the funeral started late, the obituaries were not printed on time and the broadcast services were not working so our family that was out of town were not able to witness the service. Definitely would not be using them again. It was a very unfortunate experience.

  • charles spearman

On November 1, 2018, my family entrusted Serenity with the home going services for my beautiful sister Velina Spearman. Each and every detail of this service was done with the utmost love and attention to detail. It was as if they were handling the services of one of their own loved ones. I could not have prayed for, nor assembled a more astute and professional group of individuals as these. Mr. Adkins, so many places of business are now more about the dollar than the service, but you my friend are a true exception to this rule. I pray for every aspect of success that God can reap upon you and your professional and attentive staff. On behalf of the Spearman family, we thank you and speak blessing over your establishment and each individual under its umbrella! It is no wonder why you all have a 5 Star history! You've earned it!

Never thought in a million years that I would have to be responsible for making sure my father's burial would be perfect. After a long illness and over 20 years of paying for life insurance, I just knew this process would be simple. After finding out that the insurance policy that had been paid for for several year, with the most recent payment being paid only five days prior to his death, to find out the policy was No good and was worthless at this emotional time in our life, we contacted Serenity Memorial who ensured us that they could work with us to ensure that my father's burial would be nothing less than memorable. They were sensitive and understanding to our needs and our situation. Despite our financial mishap, we were treated like a million bucks from start to finish. THANKS SERENITY MEMORIAL CHAPEL.

  • Demario Bland

Top Tier Service! Ryan and the Serenity Funeral Home team are excellent! Upon passing of my girls Zeraieh Bland and Krystle Brown on May 11, 2023. Serenity was recommended by a number of close family members and friends. There were also quite a few calls made to Serenity on my behalf to handle my girls with love and care. Ryan and the Serenity team did not disappoint. I was lead through the entire process without any major concerns or questions as to if they were the right service to help me through such a difficult time in my life. I would highly encourage anyone to allow Serenity to take the burden off their shoulders and allow them to help as they are truly dedicated to serving the community during the stressful time of loss. Thank you, Serenity, for your service, care, love and respect. Demario Bland

  • Tashonna Douglas

I had to rely on the services of Serenity Funeral Home recently, and I could not be more grateful for this kind and compassionate staff. They were very professional and understanding during my time of need. They were the first business that I contacted who could give me immediate answers about pricing and what I could expect. This helped me and my family prepare to give my dad the celebration service that he deserved. I pray to God to not have to use a funeral home anytime in the near future, but if I did, I would go back to Mr. Atkins for help again. Tashonna Douglas-Griffith

  • DeDee B

I can not say enough about the great service we received from Serenity Funeral Home. They made this a very easy and pain free process. Ryan Strickland was awesome! I can't imagine doing this without him! I've made a friend for life! Ryan turned our tears of grief into tears of joy and laughter! They were very professional and punctual. The service was on time and the chapel was very nice. It was a very beautiful homegoing celebration for my brother, Gerald Hicks! I would recommend their services to anyone who needs it because we all must go this way one day!

  • Chaderria Sims

  • Monica D. Oliver

I don't usually leave reviews, but I have to share my experience with Serenity Funeral Home. Burying a parent is a difficult job, but with Serenity they made it a smooth process. Serenity did a magnificent job from retrieving my Dad's body from the hospital to the burial. Also, the funeral service which was held in their facility was organized and beautiful while following social distancing guidelines. If you need a friendly and professional funeral home for your loved one's sendoff - I highly recommend Serenity Funeral Home!

  • ReKeysha Abdullah

One week before Thanksgiving my sister in law gave birth to my niece who was stillborn. I called Serenity and the owner was so caring and sensitive to our needs during our time of bereavement, he had even worked around my work schedule. The day before Thanksgiving my family was able to view her, she was such a beauty. The cremation was done and she was shipped to my mother in California. Our expectations were exceeded and then some. Thank you Serenity Memorial Chapel my family and I are forever grateful. The Jackson Family

  • That one Guy

The service was great they did a good job the only thing I have a problem with is the drive to the cemetery the officers r supposed to stop traffic so we didn't have to worry about getting into an accident well in this case we had to watch out for cars there was only one officer he was at the front not doing his job we ran red lights almost got into an accident twice one car cut in the line of the funeral line they need to do a better job with stopping traffic while on way to the cemetery

  • La Chelle Simpson

Michael Adkins and his staff did a superior job! They made a challenging time very seamless. From the first meeting to the last part of my mother being taken to the gravesite, my family’s experience was nothing but love, patience, attention to detail, over the top communication and much more. I would recommend Mr. Adkins and his team to anyone that has to go through the homegoing process. God bless you all. Sincerely, the Simpson and Powell family .

  • Uncle Phill

We had My grandmother’s funeral Service with serenity today. The staff was very professional and caring. It was a very beautiful service. They were very consoling to the family without being over bearing or annoying. It felt like they were there for us. They even help load the flowers after the service and provided us with thank you cards to send one less thing we have to do. I highly recommend this if you have lost a loved one.

  • Stephanie S

Serenity Memorial Chapel is wonderful I cried like a baby at the thought of going in to make arrangement for the celebration of life for my child. Mr. Adkins very real he had A-1 Service for me and my family. I would rate them the Best in the Business. Not only is the staff professional, but they show empathy. I would personally recommend them. My experience was wonderful with this company. They took the stress away.

  • monterio82

Great service! My wife's funeral service was very nice! Well put organization. They were able to do everything we wanted to make the experience personal. They even added an extra touch of love with their own touch of support at the beginning and end of service and a wonderful surprise that I'll cherish for the rest of my life! I have a good friend that recommended them as well, so I knew I was in good hands!

  • Karl Collier

We are thankful to have been able to work with Serenity Funeral Home when arranging the recent funeral for my wife. Ryan and all of the other staff we worked with were caring and professional. On short notice they worked with us to accommodate our schedule constraints. They also helped us by making tasteful suggestions for casket and flower choices. We were very pleased with our experience.

  • Damita Hill

I would recommend this funeral home to anyone in a time of bereavement in the loss of a loved one. Serenity was there for my family in the loss of our mother from beginning to end. They even did a follow up call after the funeral to make sure we were OK. This funeral home took us in as if we were part of their family. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend them.

  • Angela Trewatha

Absolute professionalism. Very sensitive and kind to our family. I want to thank the 2 gentleman who drove the sprinter with my family aboard. This is a class act group of people dedicated to serving grieving families. Special thanks to Ryan who guided us through this process and lending his vocal abilities to open my dad's service. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This funeral home is amazing!!! They buried my son and my husband. They are not only caring and compassionate, they also go the extra mile. I felt my love ones were in great hands with them. They did all i asked them to do and both services were great homecomings. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a beautiful homegoing for their loved one.

  • Erin Knighton

I recently attended a funeral at the chapel and was impressed at the sincerity and professionalism of the staff. The chapel setup was very tasteful and flowers were beautifully arranged. The service was appropriately timed, very uplifting, and a true celebration. Ryan's solos were the defining perfect touch. I know that the family is pleased.

  • Donna Williams

I highly recommend Serenity Funeral Home. The staff was kind, supportive and showed so much professionalism. The day of my brothers service I had to make some last minute corrections to his obituary. I called that morning and everything was corrected and ready for his service that afternoon including the programs.

  • Carolyn Washington

Mr. Adkins and his staff gave myself and my family the most respectful, compassionate service when my husband passed. At the most difficult time in my life, Mr. Adkins paid attention to every detail. He and his staff provided everything we wanted and more for my husband’s homegoing celebration.

  • Ra’Chelle Floyd

Serenity took such good care of our family in servicing us with the funeral and burial of my grandfather. Communication was great, they were so supportive, informative, and professional during such a difficult time for us. We were totally satisfied. Ryan and coworkers were greatly appreciated.

Serenity has been the most professional funeral home I've dealt with! Ryan Strickland made the planning of my Father in Law's funeral pain free. He was very compassionate and understanding. Thank you Ryan! We couldn't have made it without your help! God Bless you and the entire Serenity team!

  • Tawonia Burrell

If you are looking for great quality services for a loved one who has passed. Serenity memorial chapel has a team of respectful, caring and understanding staff ready to help you in your time of need. I recommend you give them a call when that time has come.

  • Sharon Turner

Please avoid this business. Paperwork was not complete and remains were not ready even when giving them 10 days to get everything completed. This company made a difficult time so stressful and I wouldn’t want any other family to experience what we did.

  • Karen Williams

My Mother, Marjorie Washington, had her Home Going Celebration this week at Serenity. It was a beautiful, professionally handled affair. Ryan Strickland Sr. and staff are genuinely caring in providing exactly what a grieving family wants and needs.

  • Brett Cottrell

Very professional, reasonably priced, gentle and caring. We were given plenty of time and privacy when viewing our loved one pre cremation. The death certificates took a long time but i think that's on the state of Missouri, not the funeral home.

  • Cheryl

We had a going home service for my mother. Serenity stepped in with professionalism, courtesy, comfort, safety (for covid protection), and understanding. I really appreciate all they had done! I highly recommend them for all your funeral service.

  • Donna McNeal

Only 1 suggestion. PLEASE take off the name of the funeral home on the throws you guys have made. Takes away from honoring those who passed on & makes these most beautiful keepsakes look like an "oh by the way" advertisement at the bottom.

  • Dr. David Knox

The professional services provided my family have caused me to understand the value of memorial services. Our family has suffered a great lost but has hope renewed due to Mike Adkins and Serenity Memorial Chapel. Thank you Serenity.
