Cedar Rapids Location

Located on the grounds of the beautiful historic Linwood Cemetery, our funeral home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was built in 1985 and has long been known as a place of exceptional service and care. We strive to provide families with everything they need to commemorate the life of their loved one. 

As soon as you step inside our lovely red-brick facility, you’ll be greeted by our experienced staff and the warmth of our inviting location.  The comforting smells of fresh-baked cookies and gourmet tea and coffees from our Legacy Café welcome you to feel right at home.   

Our Cedar Rapids Funeral Home is designed to suit the unique needs of each family we serve.  Our spacious chapel is perfect for large events or more intimate services alike. Our reception facility, The Legacy Center at Murdoch-Linwood, has space for up to 165 guests.  The Legacy Center offers families even more opportunities for gathering and reminiscing about their loved one. Allow our staff to help create a personalized catered menu to complement your family’s memorial event. From appetizers during an evening gathering, to a dessert buffet, to a hot meal featuring your favorite comfort foods, we have the staff and facilities to accommodate your culinary wishes. 

Our funeral home in Cedar Rapids is also outfitted with up-to-date amenities, like a beer and wine license for receptions, audio-visual technology primed for livestreaming services and events, large screens in our gathering spaces, perfect for displaying tribute videos featuring photos and snapshots of your loved one’s life story, and more. 

As the longest continuously operating business in Linn County, we are proud to offer funeral, burial, memorial, and cremation services in Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities. With our privately-owned crematory, you can rest assured that your loved one will always be in the care of our professional staff. 

Our eight-point Cremation Assurance commitment plan provides families with transparency into our process, helping them to feel at ease, heard, and supported by our team as they navigate the first steps of their grief journey. We believe that every service should be as unique as the person we’re here to honor, which is why our funeral homes were designed to host a variety of service types, from more traditional memorials to more joyful celebrations of life. We focus on personalizing services to truly honor the legacy of your loved one. 

While our funeral and memorial services help families at the beginning of the healing process, Murdoch Funeral Home also continues to offer grief care afterwards, supporting your family as they continue to grieve. 

For five generations, our family has proudly served our community, both through the meaningful work we do in our Cedar Rapids funeral home and in our day-to-day lives as part of the Cedar Rapids community ourselves. We focus on being a guiding hand to families throughout Cedar Rapids, as well as providing a place where our community can come together. From our annual holiday remembrance service to our monthly educational events, as well as our very own monthly Journeys aftercare program, we strive to make all feel welcome and comfortable as soon as they step foot inside our doors.
