Welcome to Heaton-Bowman-Smith Chapels

Welcome to Heaton-Bowman-Smith Chapels, proudly serving as Missouri’s oldest operating funeral home. Since 1842, families across Buchanan and Andrew counties have trusted Heaton-Bowman-Smith Chapels during their most difficult times. We own and operate a private, on-site crematory right at our Saint Joseph location, which means we never outsource the process to a third party. Your loved one stays under our roof and entirely in our care from start to finish. We offer comprehensive end-of-life services across our two convenient locations in Saint Joseph, MO, and Savannah, MO.


Grief does not keep regular business hours, and neither do we. If a death has occurred, please call us immediately. Our dedicated staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support you.
