A great day volunteering at the Kansas Food Bank, packing weekend packs for children across the region. These small bags help make sure kids have meals and snacks when school isn’t in session, and being part of that effort is incredibly meaningful.

We’re grateful for the opportunities Dignity Memorial Wichita gives us to serve our community in so many ways. Caring for families and our community goes far beyond what we do inside our funeral homes.

Now we’d love to issue a challenge to other local businesses — grab your team and sign up for a packing shift at the Wichita Food Bank. It only takes a couple hours, and the impact is huge. Let’s see who’s up for the challenge.

A light that continues to guide and comfort West Wichita. ✨
Be sure to catch a glimpse as you pass by the corner of Kellogg & 119th St. N.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

The iconic Resthaven Cemetery Cross is getting a long-overdue makeover!

All of the original wiring and lighting are being completely replaced with new, energy-efficient LED lights that will shine brighter than ever—once again illuminating the Wichita night sky. The outer panels, which were originally lightweight plastic, are being replaced with stronger white panels and securely wired into place to better withstand those famous Kansas winds.

After months of weather delays (thanks to one very rainy spring, summer and fall), we’re thrilled to finally see this restoration come to life. We can’t wait to share more photos as the project progresses—stay tuned for the big reveal!

✨ Brighter. Stronger. Restored

Our Story

Hap Bledsoe established Resthaven Gardens of Memory in 1958 in a wheat field on the west side of Wichita, Kansas. Resthaven Mortuary opened on the southwest corner of the cemetery grounds in 1970. The funeral home and cemetery allow you to handle everything from funerals and cremations to burials and other cemetery services at convenient sister locations.

Funeral Home Renovations

Over the years, Resthaven Mortuary has gone through 2 renovations—once in 2002 and again in 2012—in order to accommodate approximately 500 funerals a year. Expanding viewing rooms, an event room addition, updated furniture and carpeting, and refreshed restrooms are just some of the improvements.

We also built a showcase for our art collection. Our former owner was a collector of bronze and crystal, and the funeral home has many limited-edition Re*****on statues on display

Ready to Serve Future Generations

Resthaven Funeral Home and Resthaven Gardens of Memory provide the funeral and cemetery services that today's Wichita families are looking for. The funeral home facility is modern and up to date. The cemetery property spans 119 acres with only about 65 acres currently developed. This ensures plenty of space at Resthaven Gardens of Memory for future generations to come.

Resthaven Gardens Of Memory Cemetery

Resthaven Gardens of Memory is a Wichita cemetery that sits on 119 acres of vibrant green property. The burial park was designed to be a calm, peaceful space. The entire cemetery has flush-to-the-ground bronze markers, which gives the grounds a park-like atmosphere.

We have a phenomenal watering system with 2 wells, which allows us to irrigate the cemetery in the hot Kansas summers. Our meticulously maintained grounds contain stately trees, lush flowerbeds and a sparkling stream.

The cemetery property also contains many gardens with a main feature to express each garden’s theme. These features include artwork that is known throughout the Midwest. Many of the older gardens focus on a religious theme while the newer gardens include Veterans Garden and Rose Garden.
