3 Best Funeral Homes in Cedar Rapids, IA

Cedar Memorial Funeral home handled all of the funeral arrangements for my mother-in-law. Our families could not have been happier with all aspects of the funeral. All the details were handled beautifully. They respected the needs of each of our family members and met every request we had, exceeding our expectations. I highly recommend Cedar Memorial!

I haven't done any business with the funeral home themselves, but the cemetery and park around it are amazing. It is a gorgeous area with pretty swans, flowers, and memorial pieces everywhere. Would be a nice place to even just walk or visit. Very well-maintained. Good area to enjoy local wildlife in the heart of the city.

Cedar Memorial took care of my father's funeral at a very short notice. Very professional and detailed place. We thank you for taking care of my dad like it was your own!

Preplanning my funeral arrangements was a very positive experience. Information around burial options have changed a lot since the death of my parents and a son. No questions were left unanswered or considered too sensitive to discuss. Being able to leave clear directions ahead of my death is my gift to those who were dear to me in life. My hope is that it will free them from the untimely burden of costs and planning a funeral and instead provide them the space to grieve, to remember and to find peace. The Murdoch Funeral Home facility on Wilson Avenue SW is really lovely - a spacious, tasteful gathering space that reflects the warmth and professionalism of the staff. My experience conferring with Eric L. was as if visiting with a trusted friend. . . banker, counselor and family biographer.

Murdoch-Linwood is a beautiful and comfortable facility. In the pre-funeral meeting Bill Bergerson listened carefully to everything the family had to share. He used this information to personalize his services. His guidance was gentle and supportive without being heavy-handed. From beginning to end, Bill’s presence was felt but he remained discreetly out of sight. He anticipated our every need to provide a seamless experience. If Bill is representative of the Murdoch funeral home, there is nothing upon which to improve their services.

I was very thankful for the kind and empathetic staff who supported the necessities with grace when a family member passed away. They also navigated putting ashes into necklaces for us. I was grateful.
