The best quality at the best price. At Penwell-Gabel, you can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars compared to other Kansas City Area funeral homes. Best of all, 98% of the families we serve would recommend us to family and friends in a time of need. Our funeral home at 143rd & Blackbob in Olathe is a warm, welcoming place to make arrangements and hold funeral or cremation services and receptions.

We plan for weddings, buying a new home, having a baby and retirement, but what about planning for the inevitable? Advance cremation and funeral planning makes a lot of sense and can save your loved ones tremendous stress during a time of grief. Our funeral home is the perfect spot to gather with friends and family for a reception before or after services.
Services
We believe that you shouldn't have to spend a lot to get the very best in cremation & funeral services. Below you will find prices for our burial & cremation service packages. This selection includes a funeral ceremony at our funeral home or another facility with a public viewing the day before.

Our charge for this service includes: transfer of remains to funeral home, embalming, dressing, cosmetizing, basic services and overhead of funeral director and staff, use of facilities for viewing and funeral ceremony or supervision of viewing and funeral ceremony at other facility, hearse to local cemetery, and committal or other disposition service.
Planning your cremation or funeral arrangements ahead of time is smart, because when a death occurs, survivors are faced with over 88 decisions that must be made within hours, during a very difficult, emotional time. These decisions can be hard to make without a clear roadmap to follow. Planning ahead gives you and your family a clear plan to follow, and allows you to make the choices you want, and can afford.
Created by glass artisans, these one-of-a-kind pendants, paperweights and decorative pieces incorporate a small portion of cremated remains into the design. These are jewelry pieces that incorporate a three-dimensional fingerprint of your loved one. Available in 14k gold, sterling silver and stainless steel.
Most of us are so busy living life that we delay putting our affairs in order. Upon our passing, our family is left with unanswered questions during a very emotional time. Your completed planning guide will give your family the information they need when the time comes. This will give them peace of mind and help them avoid confusion, extra expense and anxiety.
If you have questions about advance cremation or funeral planning, we are always here to help. Please share your information and we will be in touch soon. There will be no obligation or sales pressure. If a loved one has passed away, please call us immediately. We will treat your information with the utmost confidentiality and not share or distribute it in any way.

Prior to choosing Penwell Gabel’s Olathe location we spent a considerable amount of time researching our options based on other yelp reviews, quality of the facility & location. We feel so fortunate that we made the right choice.
During our initial meeting with Michael B he masterfully guided us through the key parts of the process & did so with a very caring & easy to understand approach.
Michael was also very accessible to help with any of our follow up questions & to offer suggestions in a very supportive & never a pushy or pressuring way.
We worked with Chris H on the day of the funeral

They did well with everything except the funeral procession. Only 6 cars in line... kept going through stale green lights... loosing people. Then 5 mph over posted limit.
Plus I called the funeral home in route, and they wouldn't call the driver. Just made excuses.
I guess during covid... people are just dying to get into any funeral home. Even this one

We recently lost our Mother and as for children my Mother only had my brother (Scott) and myself. To say the least neither of us were prepared for the passing of our Mother, even though she was 77, and we also never really talked seriously with our Mother about her wishes. All we really knew is that she wanted to have a traditional Catholic funeral and Mass. I keep saying that perhaps if there were a sister in the mix things would have been different because males are just not good with those conversations in my experience. Our families, especially our wives, were a tremendous help but Penwell

During the most difficult time of your life, its important that the funeral home you choose is easy to do business with. Penwell Gabel is that and more. Mike was even keeled, calm, gracious, and accommodating. Everything was explained in detail and they are willing to give assistance after the funeral is over. I can't stress enough how much I appreciated their kindness and empathy. I highly recommend this funeral for when unfortunately you will need their services.

My family had a very positive experience when working with Penwell-Gabel to arrange for my Dad's cremation. The personnel who transported my Dad from our home were extremely compassionate, and patiently explained everything they would be doing. We were very pleased to have chosen Penwell-Gable to assist our family during a very difficult time.

The experience my family had with Penwell-Gabel was efficient, kind, and comforting. Chris was so gracious when we met with him and knocked out details. He listened to our requests with respect and educated us on what needed to be done. Everyone we worked with, there, from the Adminstrative assistant to the Hospice volunteer took the time to talk with us and let us know they were there to help. Robin did an amazing job on my Mom's hair and makeup - I was so pleasantly surprised. My mom looked beautiful. Also, Steve did a great job as a greeter/host for the visitation we held there. We layed my

Been to a handful of funeral services here. Some family, some friends. The staff are very professional and friendly, and they make a difficult time just a little bit easier.
