328 E 12th St, Baxter Springs, KS 66713

The Derfelt family roots run deep into the soil of Southeast Kansas. In fact, John Derfelt homesteaded his family here long before the City of Galena was incorporated. His son, also John Derfelt his father build the first brick building in this city. It was John Olin, one of the third generation of Derfelt’s who began the legacy of funeral directoring. J. O. Derfelt, in addition to being a Funeral Director, was a Baptist minister, an auctioneer, and a one-time Postmaster of Galena. He joined with Rev. Dow Booe, another well known area minister, to purchase Allison Funeral Home in 1948. In the early 1950’s, J. O’s son, Roy L. Derfelt joined the firm as Funeral Director and Embalmer. Soon afterwards, Rev. Booe sold his business interests to Roy Derfelt. The business has been a family owned and family operated mortuary ever since.

Everyone I have worked with at Derfelt Funeral Home has been top notch professionals. They covered my every need with kindness during a difficult time and were never pushy or demanding but assisted me in having the service I thought my brother would have wanted. This home has taken care of my grandparents, parents, nephew and will continue with my husband & I. You won’t find better service, honest, kind Christian people/friends for your loved ones.

Derfelt was wonderful. When my father passed away we decided to have his funeral in Baxter Springs for various reasons. We hadn’t had immediate family in the area for quite some time so I was not sure about a lot of things. But James and Elizabeth were so wonderful, caring, and attentive that it made an awful situation workable and easy. With their help we were able to honor Dad in a meaningful way and say goodbye. I appreciate their kindness throughout and even after the funeral was over.

Very professional and made sure the family was taken care of for the whole process. They listened to what we wanted and helped to make sure that the whole experience was exactly how we wanted it to share our loved one’s final experience with family and friends
