Frequently Asked Questions

Is my loved one cremated alone?
Yes. At Celebrate Life Iowa, and at every licensed crematory in Iowa, each body is cremated individually. Upon arrival, each person is properly identified, personal belongings are documented, and a cremation tag is assigned to ensure respectful and accurate handling throughout the entire process.

What can I do with my loved one’s ashes?
Some Waterloo families choose burial in local cemeteries. Others prefer to keep the ashes at home, scatter them in a meaningful location, or wait to decide. Cremation provides families the flexibility to make the right decision in their own time.
