About McLaren’s Resthaven Chapel & Mortuary & Resthaven Cemetery
McLaren's Resthaven Chapel & Mortuary & Resthaven Cemetery is a full-service funeral home and cemetery in West Des Moines operated under Dignity Memorial, the consumer brand of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the United States. Families should be aware that while staff interactions are often described as personal and attentive, pricing and business decisions are set at the corporate level, which can mean less flexibility than an independent or family-owned funeral home. The facility offers a broad range of services including traditional burial, cremation, pre-planning, and veterans programming — the on-site cemetery and dedicated veterans ceremonies are notable capabilities that not all funeral homes in the area can match. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so families are encouraged to request a General Price List directly, which any funeral home is legally required to provide. With a 4.8-star rating across 200 Google reviews, customer feedback is consistently positive, with reviewers highlighting the personal care of individual staff members, compassionate follow-through after services, and helpful pre-planning support — no notable complaint patterns were present in the available reviews.

a month agoMy husband passed unexpectedly in November 2025, Megan has gone 1000% over and beyond her duties prior to and after the service. She had been to my home a couple of times after the service. Today she came to pick up something and asked how to run the snow blower, I told her I had someone coming la…
