Does the idea of preplanning your end-of-life arrangements make you feel uncomfortable?

That's common, but it's important to remember that funerals are for the living—your loved ones! They provide your family with community and closure as they experience and navigate grief.

Preplanning NOW allows you to play a role in how the people you love honor your life, memory, and impact.

Our Story

Carl K. Linge, the founder of Cedar Memorial, purchased a farm along the main road between Cedar Rapids and Marion in the winter of 1929. At that time the two cities were separated by about 6 miles of countryside. Later that same year, he began building a new kind of cemetery called a park plan. Instead of large stone monuments, it would feature enduring bronze memorials set flush with the ground. Carl kept expanding his unique cemetery through the years.

A second and a third generation of Linges continued Carl's vision, and today, Cedar Memorial is one of the most respected cemeteries and funeral homes in the Midwest.

At Cedar Memorial, you'll find comfort, dignity, and quality at every turn. From our distinctive facilities and grounds to our caring, professional staff — we provide "Everything for your family."

We pride ourselves in providing innovative funeral and cemetery services to families throughout the Cedar Rapids and Marion area. Cedar Memorial also strives to give back to the community through sponsorship of special events.
