ABOUT US

At Sunset Memorial Chapel and Gardens, our mission is to honor life with dignity and compassion. Our state-of-the-art chapel (built in 2021) and serene gardens are conveniently located in one location, on the Southside of Des Moines. Designed with versatility in mind, the chapel and gardens may be used for all funeral and cemetery needs: visitations, services, celebrations of life, luncheons, and graveside committals/burials, all with seamless transition.

 

We have been locally owned and operated since 2020. When you walk through our doors, you aren't meeting with corporate representatives; you're meeting with members of your local community who are ready to help guide you through the process with empathy and compassion. We believe that everyone deserves a graceful farewell, and we strive to create an environment where every family feels respected, heard, and deeply cared for. We take pride in serving the diverse community of the Des Moines metropolitan area and our doors are open to families of all faiths, backgrounds, and identities.

 

With transparent and affordable pricing, we provide high-quality services tailored to your family's needs. Our affordability mission is rooted in meaningful goodbyes without having to compromise quality of care and service. The staff at Sunset Memorial Gardens will work with you in both the preplanning process and at the time of death. Our preplanning options help lock in today’s prices in a market where prices are always rising while also giving you peace of mind knowing your final wishes will be honored. There is no cost or pressure associated with making arrangements ahead of time. Our trained and licensed Family Service Advisors will gladly help guide you through the preplanning process with complete transparency in all logistical and financial aspects. At the time of death, our trained and licensed Funeral Directors are here to help guide you and your family through the process with dignity and compassion.
