America’s Heartland is where Carson & Son Funeral And Cremation Services is located. The soil is rich, down home values and small-town charm still preside, and agriculture is abundant.
Each person lives a life that has meaning. We produce our own "fields of life" and harvest the memories. It is within those memories that we nourish and give significance to life.
We are committed to Maquoketa and the neighboring communities, and are dedicated to honoring the "fields of life", and creating meaningful memories that acknowledge a life well lived, while healing those that remain.
"Fields of Opportunity" is the state of Iowa’s motto, and we would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our “fields of life”. Please stay awhile, browse, and come back often.

The Jackson County Relay for Life will be held on June 26 - 27, 2009
at the Jackson County Fairgrounds, 1212 E. Quarry St. in Maquoketa, IA. Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length. Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment. No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay.
