EXPLORER LE CIMETIÈRE

À propos 

With the Santa Catalina Mountains as a spectacular backdrop, East Lawn Palms Mortuary & Cemetery have served Tucson families for decades.

The cemetery was established in 1948 and is a surprisingly verdant spot in the Arizona desert. The gardens are wonderfully manicured, with many traditional and cremation burial options.

The funeral home opened in 1980, and through the years we've continually remodeled. With a modern feel, spacious nondenominational chapel with lots of natural light and reception room, it's truly inviting.

The funeral home is on the cemetery grounds, allowing you to conveniently take care of all your funeral, cremation and burial needs at one convenient location.

Annual events for the Tucson community

The team at East Lawn Palm Mortuary & Cemetery understands that serving the community doesn’t end after a funeral or cemetery service. We host several events throughout the year.

Each May, East Lawn Palm Mortuary hosts a Memorial Day service dedicated to veterans and military families. Held in the Garden of Honor, the event remembers those who have given their lives in service to our country. Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Chapter 4903 help us host this popular event. American flags are placed throughout our cemetery on the graves of servicemen and servicewomen by local Boy Scouts troops. This creates a stirring backdrop to the day’s celebrations. Attendees are treated to a barbecue lunch.

In December, East Lawn Palm hosts a Night of Remembrance for families who have lost loved ones in the past year. All are invited to attend this moving event. Guests can hang ornaments with the names and photos of loved ones lost on a tree and light candles in their honor. Community leaders from many religious groups are present at this annual event.
