Wonderful place to handle such hard decisions. My situation was very sudden.The online process was easy to navigate, and their staff answered all my questions. I had several interactions with many of the staff. The staff assured me that they would take care of all my concerns.

I want to say how amazing this place is in the time of need. Everyone involved went out of their way to make this go easy. They took the time and energy to make my sons death easier. I want to thank them so much. You don’t know how important they were. Thanks from Brett Farr’s family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Simplify help arrange services?
We handle every aspect of cremations and ceremonies with care - managing transfers, paperwork, and celebrations so you can focus on healing. Our licensed funeral directors bring over 30 years of experience to guide you, whether you use our 24/7 online planning tool from home or visit our Des Moines facility. From transferring your loved one into our care to filing death certificates and crafting obituaries, we ensure dignity at every step.
How much does a cremation cost?
Cremations start as low as $995, which is 40-80% less than Des Moines averages. We also offer affordable packages that can be customized. If you find a lower price anywhere else, we will beat it by 10%.
Can I still have a funeral if I choose cremation?
Yes, pair cremation with a visitation or memorial to celebrate their life. You can hold a traditional service beforehand with a rental casket, or a memorial afterward with or without the ashes present. Many families choose this to bring loved ones together for closure and healing, and we’ll work with you to design a ceremony that reflects their unique story.
Can I plan in advance?
Yes, secure today’s prices with our pre-planning options, backed by a transferable insurance plan. Pre-paying locks in our low rates, which will save your family hundreds later. Your funds are 100% protected in an audited insurance product, transferable to any U.S. funeral home if you move.
What information should I have ready?
Have basic information ready, such as full name, date of birth, and any arrangement preferences. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure about what other documentation you may need; we will help you put together all the information.
