30 funeral homes and crematories transporting remains out of state or abroad in Iowa, listed by city and county. Each listing names the services the home offers, the faiths it serves and the languages its staff speak, with its address, its phone and a link to its general price list where it posts one.
Licence rows come from the Iowa Board of Mortuary Science, Department of Inspections, Appeals, & Licensing (DIAL); what a home offers comes from its own site. SimplyTrust lists no prices, no reviews and no rankings, and does not endorse any home. Contact a home directly for its general price list, which the Funeral Rule requires it to provide.
