I read very pleased with how the US Cremation handled my brother's cremation. Cory answered all my questions ahead of time when I was pricing. Since all we needed at the time was the pickup, cremation, remains delivered and proper legal documents and recordings done; this was perfect and much cheaper.
Cory was dressed appropriately at pick up and took care of things and questions in a professional manner. I would definitely use them again. Andy and staff truly are the best! We contacted them with no experience due to the unexpected death of our father. I must say they went above and beyond to take great care of us.

Services
Cremation as a disposition can be, and should be, just as personal as a burial and funeral service. Personalizing a cremation with a celebration of life can be very therapeutic. A celebration gives you and your family something to concentrate on as you relive memories. We offer many ways to personalize a service.
We believe in honoring your loved one through a celebration that is personal and provides a healing experience to family and friends. Celebrations of life can be held for burial or cremation to help celebrate a life well lived. From traditional ceremonies to unique celebrations, we pride ourselves on our service helping you plan the perfect event.
Cremation is a contemporary disposition, and therefore there are still many questions to be answered. Here are some questions US Cremation Society's funeral directors commonly answer to give you insight on the cremation process. The cremation process depends on the size of the individual and the container used; approximately 3 to 5 hours.
It feels good knowing your plans are in order. Planning ahead provides you peace of mind that your personal wishes are known and protects your family from having to make tough decisions during a time of extreme stress and grief. You talk about everything, but have you had the talk? It's time to have the conversation on how you want to be remembered.
The US Cremation Society will process the death certificate of your loved one. Upon certification, you will be notified that the death certificate is now available and you can go to any Iowa/Minnesota Court House to obtain certified copies. Please understand that the process of certifying a death certificate can take up to two weeks.

Losing someone is one of the hardest things we endure. My father was dying and wanted no service. I found the US Cremation Society and spoke with Anthony, who helped me make plans for my father's cremation. Anthony was kind, compassionate and professional. Even though the process did not cost thousands of dollars, I received no different treatment and received the best service. When I went to pick up my father I got to meet Anthony and he was just as nice and helpful as he was on the phone. I would certainly use this service again. With all that needs to be done when a family member passes, it

My husband was actively dying and I called around many places for a quote - I was referred to this cremation service . They went above and beyond my expectations. Handled everything by phone , mailed his remains to me . This was 10 mos ago - I got this thoughtful card in the mail for his birthday . Very touching .

This place is amazing and really understanding. They were able to wait for our family to come up with funding due to our unexpected loss and for that we are grateful. They had the ashes ready within a few days and give you several options on pick up delivery and discounts on urns as well. On behalf of the Baker family Thanks again for everything ❤

Professional and caring are the words that best describe this group. Everyone we encountered, both on person and via email, was so kind and understanding. From pre-need planning to actual time of use we were impressed with their services. US Cremation Society has my family's highest recommendations.

US Cremation Society was amazing to work with. They handled every step of the preplanning for my mother's funeral with patience and concern for what she wanted. After she died, they followed through with all of her decisions and made a difficult time in my life much more bearable. I highly recommend them.

I spoke with Brian and Anthony during the process. They were both kind and patient. I appreciated their efforts as well as them making it easy for us to take care of our loved one. They took down all the information by phone which was easier than going online. I really liked the ease of their electronic authorization. I highly recommend US Cremation Society. They were great to work with.

Their advertising states "Serving all of Iowa $1295 immediate Cremation" Once you click on the link, it goes on to say "Simple, Transparent pricing $1,295 No Mileage, No hidden fees. All Inclusive." When I contacted them, I was told that Sioux City, Iowa was too far our of our territory but they'd gladly do it. They said the cost would be "over $2,000".

How horrible it is to think that an unprofessional person handled a cremation. This place is a space in a strip mall in Cedar Falls according to the internet but I found out it was secretly owned by Hugeback Johnson Funeral Home out of New Hampton, Iowa.
I could never let these people handle my loved ones like they did my friends. No care or compassion, they just come get the body, burn it, and mail back in a cardboard box.
Be upfront who you are and provide the same kind of service you would under your other name.

Everyone my mother-in-law and I dealt with from the US Cremation Society was knowledgeable, kind, caring and compassionate. They were willing to answer all of our questions or provide guidance when they couldn’t. They were able to collect and cremate my wife’s remains very quickly, which is exactly what we wanted since our family is out of state. When the cremains were ready, they were presented elegantly when we came to pick them up, there were flowers around them. It wasn’t just “here you go”. They helped to make such a painful time a little bit easier.

The staff at US Cremation Society kept me in the loop at all times and were very cost effective as well. My father's body was picked up the following morning and was cremated that same day. I had his ashes with 48 hours as well. Nicely packaged. My father was a simple man and these were his wishes. Other funeral homes wanted to charge me 3 to 5 times the amount for the same service. I wasn't their when my father's body was getting transported or handled but staff did put me at ease stating they care for everyone with dignity and respect. I highly recommend others to use US Cremation Society for
