Hendersons publishes complete package pricing online, a practice that eliminates the common funeral industry friction point of price discovery. All packages include face-to-face director consultation; higher tiers add limousine service, expanded visitation options, and upgraded merchandise. Cremation pricing varies by city—families should verify local rates through their city-specific tool.
Hendersons structures their services around transparent, all-inclusive packages designed to eliminate surprise costs. Each tier builds on the previous, adding elements like upgraded caskets, premium vaults, and transportation services.
Hendersons Funeral & Cremation Care has served Des Moines and surrounding communities for over 50 years from its location at 3500 Sixth Avenue. The business emphasizes transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees—a notable differentiator in an industry often criticized for opaque costs. Their model centers on five pre-designed funeral packages ranging from $6,995 to $11,995, each with clearly enumerated inclusions like specific casket models, vault types, and printed memorial materials. For families preferring cremation, they offer services starting at $895, with pricing varying by city. The operation appears to have transitioned to new ownership or management; reviews reference Donna and Walt as previous owners, with Ryan, Quanda, and Moses now named as current staff members.

It's very sad to say that Henderson's is by far the worse Funeral Home in Des Moines Ia. I feel terrible that I even allowed my love one to be cared for by such establishment. How do you just leave another dead body on the elevator? Mistreat staff? Racist comments by your staff? ...
Our family used Henderson Funeral home again for a burial services. Couldn’t ask for a nicer caring staff! Everything was done in a timely manner!
