Iles Sundberg Kirkpatrick Chapel has been a cornerstone of the Madrid community and its surrounding areas for generations. Since joining forces with Iles Funeral Homes in 1998, the families have shared best practices, and made ongoing improvements to the facility, all while keeping that warm, local vibe that families cherish.
Today, Sundberg Kirkpatrick proudly serves not just Madrid, but also the nearby communities in Boone and Dallas Counties, as well as the northern part of Polk County.

From the outside, Sundberg Kirkpatrick resembles a traditional home, which is a comforting sight for families in many communities. This familiar look often helps alleviate tension during difficult times.
Step inside, and you’ll find a space that’s been thoughtfully updated. The lighting, flooring, and finishes are modern and bright, ensuring that families don’t feel like they’ve walked into an outdated home. The aim has been to honor the building’s character while ensuring it comfortably meets the needs of today’s families.
The chapel is conveniently situated adjacent to the main entrance and is suitably sized for the Madrid community. While smaller than some of our larger Des Moines locations, it provides a warm and welcoming space for local families to hold visitations and services close to home.
Next to the chapel, there’s a cozy arrangement conference area where families can meet privately with a funeral director. This space allows them to ask questions and make decisions at their own pace, without any pressure.
Behind the conference area is a welcoming coffee lounge. Cozy sofas and high-top tables give guests a relaxed place to gather during visitations or before and after services. Whether someone needs a quiet moment, a cup of coffee, or time with family, this space offers warmth in a setting that feels more like home than a formal facility.
Accessibility is a priority at Sundberg Kirkpatrick. There is a wheelchair lift at the entrance, ensuring that guests with mobility challenges can access the chapel and other main areas of the building safely and comfortably.
Like all Iles locations, Sundberg Kirkpatrick is equipped with state-of-the-art sound systems, video tribute capabilities, live streaming, and service recording. This ensures that families can share the experience with loved ones unable to attend in person.
When it comes to gatherings and refreshments, space is slightly limited here. We can accommodate light refreshments, but families looking to host larger receptions often choose to explore other options or alternative Iles locations that better suit their needs.
Our dedicated staff is always ready to discuss available options and assist families in finding the best fit for their situation.
Sundberg Kirkpatrick genuinely embodies the spirit of a close-knit community. It provides a respectful and straightforward environment where families can come together, honor their loved ones, and receive personalized care from people who understand the local traditions.
We’re happy to help, no pressure, no obligation.
