WHEREAS, the Passantino Bros. Funeral Home located at 2117 Independence Boulevard was founded in 1930 by brothers Charles, George, and Rosario Passantino; and,
WHEREAS, the business has remained in the family for its entire eighty-five years, with Charlie Passantino currently representing the third generation of Passantinos in the business; and,
WHEREAS, from its location in the historic northeast neighborhood of Kansas City, the brothers began a tradition of offering personal, professional, and compassionate service, with special attention to each family they serve; and,
