In a time of loss and grief, it’s nice to be home. Our Cedar Rapids location was built as a family home in 1908 and now serves the community as a place to come together and remember those who have passed since 1958. Garage and selection room additions were added at that time followed by a large chapel completed in 1985. The original woodwork, including pocket doors and detailed staircase, can still be found in well-maintained condition. Many families comment on how comfortable it feels because it reminds them of home—not a big institutional building.
A large gathering space comfortably seats 130 people for services, but the openness allows for versatility to various configurations. There are several televisions available for showcasing video tributes filled with your personal photos, and the latest in sound equipment to play special music.
Family lounges are available to serve food and refreshments. We are happy to help with catering and special requests. All events at our facility include beverage service that includes lemonade or iced tea, water, and use of a Keurig gourmet coffee machine.
Myself and my family cannot express the promptness & kindness of Stewart Baxter when both my mother & brother passed away. They were over and above kind & accommodating. Again, I can't say thank you enough to them.
