My husband passed unexpectedly in November 2025, Megan has gone 1000% over and beyond her duties prior to and after the service. She had been to my home a couple of times after the service. Today she came to pick up something and asked how to run the snow blower, I told her I had someone coming later, she didn't lesson, she plowed and I shoveled behind her. Thank you for everything you have done for myself and the family. Love you Megan d

Andy is so helpful in our time of need. Much appreciated!

Efficient, thoughtful and the entire crew at McClaren Resthaven really cared that our family was good with everything that happened at the Visitation, the Funeral and the internment. It's obviously a tough time when a loved one passes. McClaren made the whole experience much easier to navigate. Many thanks to Mates and Megan. Extremely professional!

Celebration of Life helped me through every step of taking care of all of my needs dealing with my Wife's passing. They were caring and understanding during the hardest thing I have ever experienced. The rates were very reasonable which added less stress to an already stressful process. It's nice knowing that they are there if another painful situation arises.

They were very easy to work with and responsive to our needs. I would recommend them.

Celebrate Life has served me when my son passed away and again when my wife passed. Ryan and his crew have always exceeded my expectations.

From the first phone call to the day Nanas ashes were picked up we were treated with patience and the utmost dignity and professionalism. Thank you!!!

Kevin and Elizabeth at Des Moines Cremation have been wonderful to work with upon my mother's passing. We had nothing planned so were checking online, calling different companies and comparing prices for value. Des Moines Cremation was not only the most affordable but made the entire process very easy to navigate, they even refunded money when we chose an unnecessary service. I would highly recommend Des Moines Cremation if you find yourself in need of their services.

We recently used the services of Des Cremation for a dear friend who passed unexpectedly. We were completely unprepared to plan a funeral. The staff was very caring, helpful and professional. They made a sad, difficult, stressful process as simple as possible. I recommend their services without hesitation.

Grateful to have this taken care if and knowing my children won't have to.

They took charge of the body immediately,saw to cremation and death certificate and within several days gave us remain and certificate. Very professional. .

Highly recommend this business! Amazing staff took great care of us and getting our fur baby back to us. They are the best!

My family had our dog cremated here, very professional staff! I got to say my last goodbyes and take as long as needed. Heidi was very caring and understanding as she knows how much pets mean to people! She went the extra mile to make sure I was ok! I will always use Baxter Cremation for any future needs. They handle the pets with so much care and treat them as if they are their own, they are a great company with AMAZING staff!
