When you pre-plan, you do not need to pay for everything in advance—simply join Des Moines Cremation and pay the membership fee to guarantee the lowest costs at the time of death. When your plan is complete, the Des Moines Cremation will keep it on file until it is needed. However, if you pre-pay at the time you make your pre-arrangements, you have the option to lock in today’s prices. We offer several affordable payment options. We’ll be happy to discuss these options with you and help you make a decision that best suits your needs.
