Sorden-Lewis Funeral Home

Sorden-Lewis Funeral Home, located at 100 Devoe Street in Lone Tree, Iowa, is a cornerstone of compassionate end-of-life care with a history that stretches back over 130 years. Operating today as part of the Snyder & Hollenbaugh Funeral & Cremation Services family, this location continues a proud tradition that began on September 14, 1892, when W.V. Few first offered "scientific embalming" in Lone Tree. The business changed hands several times over the decades, passing from D.A. Fesler to W.R. Brewster, then to Lon O. Adams and Ray I. Marner Sr., who operated as Marner and Adams. In 1947, Truman J. Sorden became a partner, forming Sorden and Adams, and eventually the Sorden family carried the business forward for 53 years. In 1992, Tom Sorden partnered with Eric Snyder, and later the funeral home was sold to D. Stacy and Patricia R. Lewis. Eric Snyder continues to serve as manager, ensuring that the legacy of personal, dignified service endures.

Sorden-Lewis Funeral Home offers a full range of funeral and cremation services tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. Traditional funeral services can be held in the tastefully decorated visitation rooms or the on-site chapel, which provides a dignified alternative for those who prefer not to use a church setting. Cremation services are also available, with options for simple cremation, urn selection, and memorial services. The funeral home’s staff is dedicated to guiding families through every aspect of planning, including casket choices, floral arrangements, music selection, and local accommodations. For those who wish to plan ahead, pre-arrangement services and prepayment plans are offered, giving individuals peace of mind and ensuring their legacy is preserved.

In addition to standard funeral and cremation offerings, Sorden-Lewis provides specialized support such as grief resources, veteran services including burial flags and headstones, and assistance with Social Security benefits. The facility is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking, and financial assistance is available for those in need. The funeral home also hosts community events like memorial day observances and holiday luncheons, reflecting its deep commitment to the Lone Tree area and surrounding communities. Whether families choose traditional burial or cremation, Sorden-Lewis Funeral Home delivers professional, caring service with a foundation built on trust and decades of local history.
