Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory - Winterset Chapel

Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory - Winterset Chapel is a trusted funeral service provider located at 1823 North John Wayne Drive in Winterset, Iowa. As part of the Caldwell Parrish family of funeral homes, this chapel serves the central Iowa communities of Winterset, Lorimor, Patterson, and surrounding areas with compassionate care and personalized service. The business traces its roots to 1929, when Esther and Roy Caldwell began serving families in the Des Moines area with a commitment to dignity and attention to detail. In 2014, brothers Mark and John Parrish purchased the then Caldwell Raddatz Funeral Home & Crematory from James and Karolyn Raddatz, who had operated it since 1987. The Parrish brothers expanded their service area by acquiring McCalley and McCalley-Collins funeral homes in October 2017, merging them under the Caldwell Parrish name. Today, the organization operates four chapels: Urbandale, Adel, Winterset, and Perry, each offering a full range of funeral and cremation services. The Winterset Chapel provides burial services, cremation services, and access to an onsite chapel for visitations and memorial gatherings. The facility is designed to accommodate all families, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom, and seating. On-site parking is available for guests. The staff at Caldwell Parrish are guided by a clear mission: honoring lives and healing hearts. They are committed to putting families first, acting with honesty, integrity, and compassion. Their family promise guarantees that if any service does not meet these standards, they will refund or reduce a portion of that service cost. The funeral home offers traditional funeral services, cremation options, immediate assistance for at-need situations, and pre-planning services for individuals who wish to arrange their own final wishes in advance. The Winterset Chapel also hosts life planning seminars and provides a year-long grief support program to help survivors navigate their loss. With a perfect 5.0 rating from 64 reviews on Google Maps, the community has expressed strong trust in the care provided. The legacy of the Caldwell name, combined with the Parrish family's dedication, ensures that families in Winterset and beyond receive professional, respectful, and personalized support during difficult times.
