We are excited to officially announce that our adoption has been approved, through a partnership with the City of Kansas City and RideKC Marcom-Harvey Funeral Care is now formally committed to maintaining one of the largest transit bus stops in our community.

For the past six months, our team has already been showing up, cleaning, engaging, with the community at this space. This official adoption simply solidifies what we have already been doing from the heart. Our commitment to our community stands firm.

Community clean up efforts do more than improve appearance. They directly impact public health by reducing litter, limiting pest activity, and creating safer, more welcoming environments for everyone. Studies have shown that well maintained public spaces can reduce crime, increase community pride, and improve overall mental well being. When people see that a space is cared for, they are more likely to respect it, protect it, and take pride in where they live.

Clean, safe transit areas also support the many individuals and families who rely on public transportation every day. Everyone deserves to wait for their ride in an environment that feels dignified, cared for, and safe.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our dedicated staff who continue to show up and do the work. Your consistency, pride, and care are what make initiatives like this possible.
At Marcom-Harvey Funeral Care, our service does not stop at our doors. We are committed to uplifting our community in every way we can.

There is something profoundly beautiful about kindness, especially when it shows up in the middle of grief.

This week, we witnessed a moment that truly touched our hearts and reminded us why we do what we do.

On Monday, we honored the life of Mr. Kudar Muhammad. His life was celebrated with an outpouring of love, reflected in the abundance of flowers and plants surrounding him. In a selfless and thoughtful gesture, his daughter, Dr. Usamah Rodgers , chose to extend that love beyond her own family. She asked that some of those flowers be shared with KC Hospice and others who are walking through grief, so that even in loss, her father’s legacy would continue to bring comfort and light to others.

Then, just last night, we stood with the mother of Diora Lewis as she faced what no parent should ever have to endure, making arrangements for her beautiful, vibrant, and charismatic daughter. Diora was the kind of child who could light up any room, and her absence is deeply felt.

In that moment, we knew that a small act could make a difference. We created a few simple bouquets from the flowers that had been so generously shared. What started as an act of kindness by one family became a moment of comfort for another. And in that exchange, there was a quiet, powerful sense of peace and connection.

This is the beauty of kindness. It does not require grand gestures. Sometimes, it is found in the simplest acts, a shared flower, a thoughtful decision, a moment of care. Even while carrying their own grief, people still choose to pour into others. That is humanity at its finest.

There are so many meaningful moments that happen within the walls of our funeral home. Moments of compassion, generosity, and love that deserve to be shared. It is in these moments that we are reminded that even in sorrow, joy can still be found.

Please keep both of these families lifted in prayer. We are deeply grateful to serve such remarkable families, and we are honored to witness the beauty they continue to bring into the world.

Words cannot express how heartbroken we were to learn of the unexpected passing of Diora. Just recently, she was with us, celebrating the life of her loved one, Mr. John Watson.

The family had many options and traveled from Topeka to entrust Diora into our care. That trust means everything to us. It is truly an honor to serve this family once again, who has become an extension of our own.

Moments like these remind us how precious and fragile life is. Diora’s presence, her love, and her spirit will never be forgotten.

May Diora rest in eternal peace. We ask that you keep her family lifted in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this time of loss.

The photos below are from her time with us in November 🙏🏾

We love you Diora ❤️

A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY

At Marcom-Harvey Funeral Care, we are committed to serving families with integrity, transparency, and respect at every stage of the journey.

It has recently come to our attention that some families, after thoughtfully selecting our firm and making arrangements, have been contacted by another funeral home and encouraged to transfer their loved one’s care.

We are thankful to the families that spoke up. We know there are many that haven't and we encourage you to reach out to us.

We stand firm behind the ethical business practices and we never want a family under duress during one of their most vulnerable times.

We want to be clear:
Under Missouri law, it is both unethical and prohibited for a funeral establishment or its representatives to solicit or interfere with a family once they have made arrangements with another provider.

Families deserve peace, clarity, and protection from outside influence during one of the most difficult moments of their lives. Any attempt to disrupt that process places unnecessary emotional strain on those who are already grieving.

At Marcom-Harvey Funeral Care, we do not engage in these practices. We honor the decisions of families, and we stand firmly on ethical, professional conduct.

We encourage all families to: • Take time to research and choose a funeral home that aligns with your values

• Feel confident and secure in your decision once it is made
• Report any inappropriate or unsolicited contact that causes concern

Your trust means everything to us. Our commitment is simple: to serve with dignity, honesty, and unwavering respect.

We give reverence to the deceased by our service to the living.

If you have been subjected to harassment, unethical behavior and unprofessional conduct, we encourage you to file a complaint with the state board.

Funeral homes and funeral directors doing bad business damage our industry.

After a hard day of serving families, our staff still made time to make it out to the first night of Spring Revival at Palestine last night. Many of our staff grew up under the leadership of Pastor Earl Abel and it was a great pleasure to attend last night.
