Hamiltons Funeral Home

Hamilton's Funeral Home is a family-owned funeral home that has served Des Moines since the early 1900s, with roots going back to 1913. Its services cover funeral planning, advanced planning, cremation, cremation jewelry, and private pet cremation, and the business also runs a grief education program called the Academy of Grief & Loss.

The main Des Moines location is at 605 Lyon Street, and the company operates several other funeral homes and a crematory across the Des Moines area, including Altoona and Mitchellville. Families can meet with a funeral director to make arrangements at immediate need or plan ahead, and the Academy offers a lending library open to the public, grief groups for children, and support for schools.
