About Nunnelee Funeral Chapel

Nunnelee Funeral Chapel is a full-service funeral home in Sikeston, Missouri, operating as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the country, under its Dignity Memorial brand — families who prefer locally or independently owned funeral homes should factor this into their decision. The chapel offers a range of services typical of a full-service provider, including burial and cremation options, and as a Dignity Memorial location, it has access to the network's pre-planning tools and transferability benefits for families who move or travel. Pricing is a notable concern: their direct cremation starts at $15,740, which is significantly above what most families would expect to pay for a basic cremation and places them at the premium end of the market — families on a budget may want to compare prices with other local providers before committing. Nunnelee holds a 4.7-star rating across 61 Google reviews, and the majority of customers consistently praise specific staff members — Danny, Jason, and Justin are named repeatedly — for their compassion, patience, and attention to detail during an incredibly difficult time; however, at least one reviewer described a troubling experience involving poor communication and insensitivity, which is worth keeping in mind as you make your decision.

Unfortunately, my sisters and I had a pretty awful experience from start to finish. Poor communication and very insensitive. No one should have to deal with the added stress that was created by Nunnelee. Our mother was an employee of Dignity Memorial (KCMO) for several years and her services were pr…

Danny, Jason, and the entire Nunnelee Funeral Chapel team provided great service to my family and I when my father passed. Exception service, patience, and understanding goes a long way during these times, and they did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend them.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my father’s funeral. The staff at Nunnelee’s treated my father with love and respect just as they would have one of their own family members. They worked to make sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it. They treated me and my family with such genuine …
