In 1973, the Beatty-Beurle Funeral Home in Cedar Rapids was purchased to enable the business to better serve all of metropolitan Cedar Rapids and Marion. (An interesting footnote to this purchase is that J. Frank Beach started his Funeral Director career at the Beatty Funeral home 50 years before in 1922. Frank, who grew up on a farm between Mt. Vernon and Marion, and his father had a livery business in Mt. Vernon that served funeral homes in the area with carriages. In 1914, Frank purchased the first motorized Hearse in Linn County. His daughter, Faye, told about taking the train to Des Moines with her father to pick up the new Hearse. Because of his association with funeral homes, Frank at the age of 49, decided to become a Funeral Director and at the age of 57 he became the owner of the Yocom Funeral Home in Marion.) After being located for 55 years by the City Park in downtown Marion, a new Murdoch facility was opened in 1983 off of Highway 151 East.
