Cedar Memorial Westside Chapel 

(formerly Turner West Funeral Home)
This traditional funeral home located on 1st Avenue west of downtown Cedar Rapids combines colonial architecture and a comfortable home-like setting. It has served families on the west side of Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities since 1966. Cedar Memorial brought this community funeral home back to local ownership when they acquired it in 1978. The home was completely remodeled in 2002.

Cedar Memorial Grant Wood House

(formerly Turner East Funeral Home) 
This 1893 mansion, located on 2nd Avenue just east of downtown Cedar Rapids, served as Turner Funeral Home since 1924. Artist Grant Wood was paid to help decorate the original mortuary. While living and working above the Turner coach house, Grant Wood painted “American Gothic” in 1930. Cedar Memorial acquired Turner Funeral Home in 1978 and continued to protect and operate this historic landmark under its original name.

Cedar Memorial Park Chapel of Memories 

As stately and enduring as the Old English churches after which it is patterned, the Chapel of Memories is a haven of comfort for those who have lost a loved one. Many families choose to hold the funeral in this sanctuary where the tradition of a candlelight service brings inner peace.
