Murdoch Funeral Home & Cremation Service

Murdoch-Linwood is a beautiful and comfortable facility. In the pre-funeral meeting Bill Bergerson listened carefully to everything the family had to share. He used this information to personalize his services. His guidance was gentle and supportive without being heavy-handed. From beginning to end, Bill’s presence was felt but he remained discreetly out of sight. He anticipated our every need to provide a seamless experience. If Bill is representative of the Murdoch funeral home, there is nothing upon which to improve their services.

Preplanning my funeral arrangements was a very positive experience. Information around burial options have changed a lot since the death of my parents and a son. No questions were left unanswered or considered too sensitive to discuss.

Being able to leave clear directions ahead of my death is my gift to those who were dear to me in life. My hope is that it will free them from the untimely burden of costs and planning a funeral and instead provide them the space to grieve, to remember and to find peace.

The Murdoch Funeral Home facility on Wilson Avenue SW is really lovely - a spacious, tasteful gathering space that reflects the warmth and professionalism of the staff.

My experience conferring with Eric L. was as if visiting with a trusted friend. . . banker, counselor and family biographer.

Murdoch did an incredible job with our recent tragic loss. The entire team was professional, sensitive, patient, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. They provided help and services I would not have anticipated that made this horrible situation much less challenging than it could otherwise have been. I am grateful we used Murdoch and highly recommend them to others in need of funeral services.

What a good place to celebrate your loved one. The funeral direct Casey and staff of Murdoch were helpful and understanding. My parent pre-paid for their funeral. What a good decision to come to Murdoch.

When my mom passed last year, Amy helped me out a great deal. If it wasn't for her, I'd still be twiddling my thumbs

Very smooth process. Will work with them again. Bill was a pleasure to work with.

You all do an amazing job. Professional but very personable during a highly stressful and emotional time.

they do a wonderful job and the staff is so polite my fiance's family used them for his 2 grandma's and his grandfather

This is the place that I perried my little 👼.staff are friendly.!!!! Thank you staff member's.

Staff very helpful when I had questions regarding pre-planned funerals.

Was supposed to get my Grandpa's ashes and they couldn't give my mother one minute to call. She was at work. So they gave them to my grandma who said she didn't want it. My mom signed a paper so it'll go to her. But no. The funeral home called grandma and now we can't have him. Wow....

Response to your feedback. I don't think you understand. I understand I couldn't take him. But my grandpa was on paper supposed to go to my mother. I was there to witness my mom signing the paper. Someone called my mom to say he was ready. By the time she was available, they took him to my grandma's. Now she's refusing to give him back. If you guys just would have done what was promised this wouldn't have been an issue.

When my Mom passed away Murdoch did an amazing job with everything. One of the men I had to talk to about the condition of my Mother's remains was rude and cold and that is why I rate them 3 stars. Other than that everything else was great. My Dad just told me the way the man who talked down to my sister and I about my Mom's passing made him feel like he should take himself off the Iowa Donor registry. You were so cold Murdoch Linwood, I now give you one star.

Don't lay your loved ones to rest here unless you want their grave to be broken, and all things stolen. 😠
