| About Us |
Our long and notable history starts in 1913 with Lee Hamilton – a man with an undeniable desire to serve people. Recognized as both generous and open-hearted, Lee assisted the people of Des Moines as a dedicated funeral director and friend for more than 50 years. People knew Lee Hamilton, but more importantly, they knew that Lee Hamilton would take care of their family with dignity, concern and reverence.
In 1940, as the numbers of families assisted by Hamilton’s Funeral Home increased to more than 500, Lee Hamilton asked his son-in-law, Ira Moller, and valued employee, Ardis Peterson, to join him as partners of the business. Over the years, Ira and Ardis carried on the values and attitudes instilled in them by Lee and passed them on to their sons and grandsons – the new generation of Hamilton’s owners.
Hamilton’s Funeral Home has always stood for a standard of excellence that has challenged the business to become one of the larger family-owned funeral homes not only in Des Moines, but also in the state of Iowa. This standard of excellence still proudly carries Lee Hamilton’s name and the mission to serve client families and one another, adapting to the desires of each person seeking help.
