What Iowa law says before a provider can do anything

Ask a funeral home about these before you sign. They set what has to happen, and when, no matter who you hire.

Verified in Iowa so far: 40 financial advisors, 25 hospice & palliative care, 4 funeral homes, 1 estate attorney.

Every figure here comes from MORTL's Iowa guide, which cites the statute or the state agency behind it. Read the Iowa guide for the rest of it: the cremation and burial rules in full, probate and the small-estate threshold, who inherits when there's no will, advance directives, and the estate tax.

If someone has already died, what to do first in Iowa is the order to work in. It's free and it always will be.

About This Directory

How provider listings work.

Providers come from public sources and provider submissions. Before a listing goes live, MORTL checks the provider's phone, business address, and working website. MORTL writes standard listing descriptions from that site. Sponsored Pro and Premium cards may include a provider-written bio. A provider without a working website isn’t listed.

A listing isn’t a recommendation, endorsement, guarantee, or referral.

MORTL checks a license only for estate attorneys: a lawyer the firm names has to show as active on the state’s official lawyer lookup before the listing goes up. MORTL doesn’t verify any provider’s disciplinary history, availability, or quality of service. Provider information can change after a listing is added.

Before hiring any provider, check their license with the state licensing board or professional authority, get pricing in writing, and confirm availability directly.

Know Someone Good?

Suggest a provider.

Worked with a funeral home, grief counselor, hospice, financial advisor, or death doula worth finding? Tell us who they are. It takes a minute and it's free.

Every suggestion gets the same check as the rest of the directory: we confirm the provider's phone and address against their own website before anything is listed.

Death doulas aren’t in the directory because no verifiable registry exists to check them against. You can still suggest one; submissions stay open.

Free. Before listing, we check every suggested provider's phone and address against their own website. Listing in this directory isn’t an endorsement by MORTL.

For Providers

Get listed. Free.

MORTL readers are planning ahead: people getting their wills, directives, and funeral wishes in order before a crisis. Listing here puts you in front of them before they need you.

A standard listing in the MORTL directory costs nothing, now or later. We list funeral directors, grief counselors, financial advisors, and hospice providers. Founding providers get in before the category fills up.

Death doulas can apply, but don’t appear in the directory yet: no verifiable registry exists to check a doula listing against.
