Penwell-Gabel Topeka - Parker-Price Chapel

When we promise to provide you with quality funeral and cremation services at a fair price, the cornerstone of that promise is our caring, professional staff.

Managing Funeral Director Jeff Hurst has been serving the families of Northeast Kansas since 1964, and has been a part of the North Topeka community for over 30 years. Jeff and his wife Loretta have two married sons and two grandchildren.

Jeff is an active member of his church and a member of the Masonic Lodge (Past Member), Scottish Rite (K.C.C.H.), York Rite (Red Cross of Constantine), Arab Shrine Temple, I.O.O.F., Kiwanis Club (Past President), Optimist Club, and many professional organizations. Jeff has served on numerous boards and has been active in his sons’ Cub and Boy Scout Troops, and the Seaman School District.

When you come to our funeral home, you might recognize a former school teacher, or a fellow member of a club, or fraternal or veteran’s organization. Many of our staff joined our funeral home after attending services here, or after using our funeral home in their own time of loss. After seeing the difference that a compassionate professional can make for a family in the stressful time of loss, they wanted an opportunity to help others in the same way.
