Very professional in all respects. Service was great and we did not experience any problems in the mortuary or at the burial site.

Services
Downing & Lahey approaches each arrangement as a collaborative design process, working with families to create services that reflect specific values, passions, and legacies rather than applying standardized templates.
Downing & Lahey Mortuary has operated continuously since 1913, making it one of Wichita's longest-serving funeral homes. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership, the firm maintains its original commitment to local decision-making rather than corporate oversight. The East Central Avenue location serves as their primary facility, with staff available around the clock every day of the year including holidays.
The mortuary distinguishes itself as the only funeral home in the Wichita area to hold membership in Selected Independent Funeral Homes, an invitation-only organization with rigorous standards for integrity and professionalism. This accreditation reflects their sustained commitment to independent, community-based service rather than national chain ownership.
Their service model emphasizes personalized tributes across the full spectrum of funeral options, from traditional services with viewing to contemporary celebrations of life. The staff works with families to incorporate religious customs, military honors, or secular approaches according to individual preferences.

Mike was incredible. He was accommodating, patient and genuinely kind. We were here for the loss of our grandmother which has not been easy, but Mike and the entire team did such an amazing job on her makeup, services and burial. This time is never easy, but if you want some sort...
