About

The Melcher family and the team at Advantage Melcher Chapel of the Roses have provided compassionate and professional funeral and cremation care to families in Mesa, Arizona, since 1948. We know that losing a loved one is a difficult experience, and we want to make things a little easier by offering economical pricing and easy-to-understand packages.

The affordable Melcher mortuary

Chapel at Advantage Melcher Chapel of the RosesLocated in Golden Grove, right off of East Main Street, Advantage – Melcher Roses provides distinctive service options to families from all backgrounds, cultures and faiths. Together, we are the difference. We do the right things for the right reasons. Every family has a different story and helping them is our core purpose. We’ll work with you to create a funeral or memorial service that’s expressive but not expensive.

Our modern funeral home can accommodate services large and small. With a spacious chapel and a gathering center, we can host catered events before or after a service. We can also arrange food and drinks, including kosher catering, so you can spend more time with friends and family and let us take care of the details.

Advantage offers an alternative to traditional funeral homes by making arrangements affordable and easy to understand, without sacrificing high quality or care. Our knowledgeable team will walk you through everything you need to know to choose the best options for you and your family.

Simplified options

To make a difficult time easier, Advantage offers straightforward burial and cremation options for a range of budgets in two simple steps. First, you’ll choose the type of service you want, and then select the products that best support that service. Options are clearly outlined for you—and there’s never any pressure to purchase more than you need. And, of course, you are always welcome to purchase services and merchandise a la carte from our General Price List.

Distinctive funerals and memorials

Our packages are designed to offer an authentic and affordable way to remember a loved one. Whether you want a traditional funeral at the funeral home with a burial at a cemetery nearby, a basic cremation or a more robust celebration of life, our expert team will work with you to create a simple but special remembrance. 

Cremation options

Urn outside on table with flowers around itNot everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you’re interested in cremation, we can explain the process and the different memorialization choices, from urns to remembrance jewelry. Whether you’re interested in a simple cremation without a service, or a full-funeral service before or after the cremation, you can select from affordable options to meet your needs.

For families who choose the time-honored tradition, our full-service funeral home uses a crematory dedicated to our family of funeral providers. This allows us to have control of a cremation from start to finish.

Your loved one’s urn can be picked up at the funeral home, or someone from our team can deliver it to your home or send it to you by U.S. mail.

Making arrangements in advance

We know that making funeral or cremation arrangements can be overwhelming. In addition to assisting during your immediate time of need, our funeral directors specialize in working with families to plan final arrangements in advance. By preparing these details ahead of time, you provide peace of mind to your loved ones while outlining your personal wishes. You’ll also lock in today’s costs and avoid future price increases, which can help ease your family’s financial burden during an already stressful time. When you’re ready, we're here to discuss low-cost funerals and cremations, answer questions, and walk you through the advance-planning process.
