Many of the local chapters of the Iowa Genealogical Society have publications of cemetery records in their respective counties that can be ordered through the chapter. A statewide publication listing is available through the state society. A large number of cemetery transcription collections as well as records of funeral homes, casket lists, and obituary indexes are held by the FHL.

There is a collection of Iowa Cemetery Records searchable at Ancestry.com.
