“After a hospital stay, my mother, Nancy Whitener passed away on September 25, 2025, in KC MO. During the hospital stay she suffered from shingles, which left her face with terrible wounds. I am so deeply appreciative of the amazing job Willie was able to do with Mom, returning her beautiful face back to one I will cherish the memory of seeing. Thank you from the family of Nancy Whitener. Our contact with Campbell-Lewis Funeral Home was Larry. He is one of the most caring and comforting people I have ever met. Larry helped us through every step of the planning process, even driving my mom to Southeast MO for her service and burial. We will be eternally grateful for the support and superior services our family received through this funeral home. Thank you.”
“My long standing significant other and her sister just buried their mother and in doing so used the services of the Campbell-Lewis funeral home. I've attended many funerals in my 66 plus years and the services the C-L funeral home provided was excellent. As many have said already, they make sure everything is exactly as the family wishes. And, as importantly, they were professional, yet very caring and compassionate.”
“These people went above and beyond the call of duty after the passing of my Father. I needed"certified" copies of his Death certificate, and I am in California. They only asked for what the county charged, and a self addressed stamped return envelope, and are getting these for me at no extra charge!!! WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE? I am so blessed they were there for me in these difficult times. May God Bless every one of you, and prosper your business, so that you are able to help others, as you have helped me. My Sincere Gratitude and Appreciation to all of you at Campbell Lewis. Sincerely, Steven Wade”
