History

The Meyers Funeral Chapel Northland, formerly Heritage Funeral Home, was founded in 1929 by Leland H. Francis.  In 1942 Mr. Francis constructed the current facility which is located at 401 Main Street in downtown Parkville, Missouri.  Mr. Francis and his wife Sadie, reared their three children, Haddon, Roland and Sandra in the living quarters above the funeral home.  On September 12, 1981 Mr. Francis passed away.  Sadie Francis and her son Haddon, continued the family business until Sadie's health began to fail in the late 1980's.

In 1989 Bill and Joanne Carson purchased the funeral home from the Francis family.  Over the years Bill and Joanne became very active in the Parkville community and helped to raise the bar for the expectations of the funeral service in the Northland.  Bill is often seen around the funeral home even today as he still drives for funeral services on occasion and assists with visitations as well.

In January of 2008, Todd and Nikki DeMint became partners in Meyers Funeral Chapels and, like the Carsons, plan to play a very active roll in the community.  As one of the only family-owned and operated funeral homes in the Northland, Todd and Nikki are dedicated to providing high quality and affordable services, in a family atmosphere.  The DeMint's have 2 children, Evan (age 3) and Avery (age 1).

Our mission is to help families create meaningful, personalized services that honor the lives of their loved ones.
