Resthaven Funeral Home

Resthaven Funeral Home & Memorial Park, located at 44909 Highway 3 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, is a distinguished provider of funeral, cremation, and memorialization services. Established in 1979 by Neill E. and Mary E. Wiley, the funeral home was created to complement the historic Resthaven Memorial Park, which has served the community as a cemetery since 1929. This unique integration makes Resthaven the only funeral home in Shawnee situated directly on cemetery grounds, offering families seamless arrangements and reduced transit between services and burial. The funeral home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, combining small-town warmth with the resources of a national provider. Resthaven prides itself on crafting personalized services that honor the individual stories of each loved one. The team works closely with families to incorporate meaningful details, such as setting up a mini-putter for an avid golfer or hosting an elegant coffee service with a barista dressed in favorite colors. The on-site reception area accommodates gatherings of all sizes, and catering is available, including family recipes. The facility is wheelchair accessible with ample free parking. Resthaven offers a full range of services including traditional burial, cremation, and above-ground entombment. The 33-acre cemetery, known as 'Cemetery Beautiful,' features family estates, a granite mausoleum, cremation gardens, and a dedicated Veterans' Garden with an annual Memorial Day remembrance ceremony. The funeral home also provides pre-planning options with low-interest payment plans, a 100% service guarantee, and relocation protection across Dignity Memorial providers. The history of Resthaven is deeply rooted in community service. In 2001, the Shawnee Chamber of Commerce established the Neill and Mary Wiley Award to honor outstanding volunteers, reflecting the Wileys' own commitment to local improvement. In 2006, Resthaven merged with Gaskill-Owens Funeral Home, incorporating antique furniture, paintings, and ledgers dating back to the 1920s, now displayed in the family gathering room. Resthaven is available 24/7 and offers on-site services, online pricing, and virtual appointment scheduling. With a rating of 4.8 from 74 reviews on Google, Resthaven Funeral Home & Memorial Park continues to provide compassionate, dignified care to Shawnee and surrounding communities.
