Funeral Services & Cemeteries near University City

“Having attended funerals at Lupton Millard Chapel several times, I was always impressed by their professionalism and thoughtful care. Therefore, I chose them to handle my husband's cremation and the attendant paperwork after his death last fall. When an error was noticed on one of the documents, they worked diligently to get the correction made, even hand delivering the forms to Vital Records in Jefferson City. When Vital Records then lost the documents, they made another trip to the State Capitol, and followed up to be sure it was being corrected promptly. Dealing with a bureaucracy, enduring long periods on hold, and then having no one return your calls is the last thing someone with a recent loss needs. It was a great relief to have them handle this problem. Highly recommend.“

“With the exception of the flowers from Walter Knoll being different than what I ordered (although still beautiful), EVERYTHING was as I had planned with our assigned funeral director, Madelyn.
We had a larger crowd than I expected… and they wouldn’t leave! Lots of laughter, smiles, hugs and a few tears, but those quickly turned into fun conversation and great sharing of everyone’s individual experiences with our loved one.
I didn’t get to eat, but EVERYONE said the catering was delicious; and the “belly bombers” were an added plus. The catering server was cheerful and helpful and kept the trays filled for second helpings.
Liz and Marie were so accommodating. I felt like we owned the place Friday and Saturday.“

“Berger Memorial provided excellent and compassionate care during my family's time of need.“

I can not Thank Mr. Baucom and his Team (Tan) enough for how we were handled with dignity, patience and excellence.“

The family appreciates that.“

“I’ve been to more than my fair share of funerals, and I have to say—my experience at Chapel Hill Memorial Service (soon to be Lupton–Millard Chapel) was truly exceptional.

From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Doors were opened, guidance was offered, and there was always someone available—whether it was directing me to the guest book, helping me find the family, or answering questions with genuine kindness.

What stood out most was the tone of the staff. There was no sense of obligation or burnout—just people who seemed to genuinely care about being there and supporting others during a difficult time.

I can’t speak to what it was like in the past, but my experience today, March 28, 2026, felt more like a five-star level of service than what you typically expect in these settings.

I would absolutely recommend them“

“I went to Chuck Berry's grave at Bellerive Heritage Gardens with my cousins, grandparents and aunt on June 2024 when I was 15. It was a good time during summer 2024 and it was the last summer season to be with my grandpa before he passed away on November 28, 2024.“

“They did a beautiful job with my aunt very professional and courteous highly recommend for your loved ones“

“I'm purchasing a burial plot for my son at that cementary. Debbie was like an angel when I walked into that office the first time. So sweet, pretty. Angelic! God knew I needed someone like Debbie to help me through this task.
I so appreciate all she helped me with.. so many questions were answered.“

“Very personal,family oriented and very helpful from the beginning to of funeral process“

“One of the most moving places I visited was Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis, where a monument honors Black Eagle and Speaking Eagle of the Nez Perce tribe. Twenty-five years after Lewis and Clark met the Nez Perce in Idaho, four tribal representatives traveled more than 2,000 miles to St. Louis to meet William Clark. Two of them died shortly after arriving and were buried there. Standing before the monument, I was reminded that the story of Lewis and Clark was also the story of the Native peoples who helped the expedition survive and whose lives were forever changed by the opening of the West.“

“I was well pleased with the services with Serenity Funeral Services, Friendly, respectful and kind, always humble and with a smile! I love how they laid my loved one to rest and they were always willing to assist! Thank you“

“McClendon Mortuary just handled the services for my father-Raymond S. Dennis. I was very pleased with their service and professionalism.“

“This place has been in business as long as I can remember. Here, I've buried and attended numerous family and friends final resting place. Frankly, I don't think you could find a better place in St Louis to say your last farewells to your loved one. They have ample parking spots, and the location couldn't be better. The staff have always been helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the whole process of burying a loved one. Including, dealing with the insurance and benefit companies. I would highly recommend saying your last goodbyes to your loved ones here.“

“I have had such wonderful interactions with Sunset. I was surprised by the low review.
My family were also concerned about the the low soil level immediately after burial. I came to understand this was part of the settling process to ensure a headstone (which is a considerable weight) would not sink or tilt. And ours has not moved at all.
It can be such a foreign and difficult process at a sensitive time
The majority of the landscaping/maintenance staff have considerable tenure and are wonderful. And yes, my mom has always maintained/trimmed a little extra for a personal touch.
We've been going there 60+ years. I love the history and the wonderful stories behind its many features.

I sincerely hope everything will the best for your loved one ?“

“Edit: the cemetery grounds are open until 5pm everyday. Very reasonable for first shifters and sporadic shifters to access.*

I love how well maintained the headstones and fields are, but the hours, sorry, suck. It's open basically during business hours when most people work and only open until 12 on Saturday doesn't feel like enough for when most are off. Closed on Sunday seems upsetting as I'm sure most would like to visit during that day. As far as me, coming from an hour out, I can't always make it during the week during those hours, and cutting it close on Saturdays.“

“The office personnel was very helpful. They were very informative for me to find my late husband's grandfather. Gave me a map and landmarks to help find the site. The landmark was look for four large trees. Very helpful.

They also gave me information on another gravesite where I was going next. It does not have an office. You have to go to another place to get information.“
