In January of 1973 the Matney family opened Maple Hill Funeral Home and began providing quality funeral services to the families in the Kansas City area. Conveniently located in Maple Hill Cemetery, which the Matney family also owns, the funeral home was under the direction of William H. "Bill" Young, Ethel Matney's son.
In November of 2008, with the retirement of Bill Young, his nephew Mike Matney who also owns the cemetery, bought the funeral home ensuring that the Matney family will continue to provide the high level of service that Kansas City has come to expect.
To better serve our families we added our own on-site Crematory in October 2018, ensuring your loved ones never leave our care.
Currently there are 4 licensed Funeral Directors/Embalmers on staff.
Bill Stack III grew up in the Turner area. He later attended and graduated from Shawnee Mission North in 2005. Bill started working in the cemetery in 2001 and helped with evening visitations during the summer of 2004 while going to college at Kansas City Kansas Community College to become a Funeral Director/Embalmer. Bill oversees preneed funeral arrangements and also manages the funeral home staff. Bill and his wife Audra have a son Gage and dog named Scout.
