Hixson-Klein Funeral Home

Hixson-Klein Funeral Home has been a pillar of compassionate community service in northwest Missouri for over fifty years. With locations in Edgerton (303 W Frank St), Gower (109 N 3rd St), and Smithville (104 Church St), the family-owned and operated funeral home offers convenient and caring support to families during their time of loss. The dedicated team, including funeral directors Christa Musser and Mandy Klein, brings decades of experience and a deep commitment to honoring each life with dignity, respect, and personalized attention.

Understanding that every family’s needs are unique, Hixson-Klein provides a comprehensive range of services designed to accommodate various traditions, preferences, and budgets. Their offerings include full funeral services, which encompass the basic services of the funeral director and staff, transportation to the funeral home (within 100 miles), embalming and preparation, use of funeral vehicles, chapel facilities, and memorial materials such as register books, food books, thank-you cards, and memorial folders. This option does not include the casket or outer burial container. For those preferring a simpler ceremony, graveside funeral services are available, which include similar basic services and funeral director support but take place at the cemetery.

The funeral home also offers several cremation options to meet different needs. Direct cremation provides a simple, no-viewing alternative that includes basic services, cremation charges, transportation to the crematory (within 100 miles), and a cremation container. Cremation with a memorial service allows families to hold a meaningful ceremony in the funeral home’s chapel without a viewing, including use of the chapel, register book, food book, thank-you cards, and memorial folders. For those who wish to have both a viewing and a memorial service, Hixson-Klein offers cremation with a memorial service and viewing, which includes embalming, preparation, casket rental, chapel facilities, and transportation to the crematory. Additionally, the funeral home assists with out-of-town deaths by arranging transportation to their facility and coordinating whatever service the family desires.

Hixson-Klein’s facilities are designed with accessibility in mind, featuring wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking lots, ensuring that all guests can participate comfortably. The funeral home’s long-standing presence in the community is a testament to its reputation for affordability, care, and professionalism. Families can reach out by phone at (816) 227-3313 for the Edgerton location or by email through the contact page. The staff at Hixson-Klein Funeral Home remains dedicated to guiding families through the next chapter with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support.
