Direct Cremation

Cremation Without Service


In March of 2024, we conducted pricing surveys conducted of the following local Des Moines funeral homes:

Iles Dunn’s Chapel
Iles Grandview Park
Iles Westover
Simplify Cremations & Funerals

Caldwell Parrish
Hamilton’s
McLaren’s
Merle Hay

In order to compare “apples to apples,” prices were requested for a Direct Cremation. Utilizing individual line items from each firm’s General Price List the prices are accurate, based upon the information obtained during the survey. Providers may change their prices without notice and may offer package discounts or discounts made available only if specific merchandise or services are purchased through the funeral home.
