The Importance of Local Ownership


Cozine Life Events Center, Kensington Gardens, and Broadway Mortuary are locally owned and operated by Cozine Memorial Group in Wichita, Kansas. This sets us apart from the other mortuaries and cemeteries in the Wichita area that are owned and operated by large chain and international corporations with headquarters located outside of our city. We believe this makes a real difference for several reasons:

  • Local ownership enables us to be directly accountable to the needs of the families we are privileged to serve, not the financial needs of a group of investors or stockholders.


  • Local ownership gives us the flexibility to respond to your individual needs and special requests without having to seek approval from corporate headquarters or a board of directors.


  • Local ownership ensures that the dollars you spend stay in Wichita and support our local economy. Our dedication to the community is reflected daily through our contributions and service to business, civic, and church activities. We live and raise our families here and are committed to contributing to our community’s quality of life.


For four generations, people have come to rely on Cozine Memorial Group in their time of need. Families have come to appreciate the difference we offer, as well as the exceptional level of care, compassion, and quality of service we provide. We make your needs our priority!
