Personalized funeral services in Phoenix

Everyone who works at Phoenix Memorial Park & Mortuary believes that there’s nothing more rewarding than serving families in a hard time. With a high level level of care and attention, we create beautiful personalized funerals and memorial services.

One example: a family came in to plan a funeral ahead of time and described a shared lifetime of raising race horses. The wife joked that if it were possible, she wanted to ride to her grave on a horse. When she died, we arranged to have her urn carried to the graveside in a velvet bag on a saddled horse. With her boots in the stirrups, her friends and family walked with the horse to her final resting place. It was a touching event that no one who attended will ever forget.

We can create something just as personal and memorable for you or your loved one too.

A beautiful chapel and reception area

The funeral home team wants to relieve as much as possible of the worry and fatigue that's associated with a loved one’s death. With that in mind, we have an on-site chapel that seats up to 100 guests and a welcoming reception area with a large television and plenty of seating for overflow during a service.

What's more: We will arrange a catered event before or after the service if you'd like us to. Want a burrito bar and a margarita machine? You got it. Hand-carved barbecued pork with all the trimmings and sweet iced tea? Of course. Let us know your or your loved one's favorite foods and we'll do our best to incorporate those dishes into the reception.

We Honor Veterans

At Phoenix Memorial Park & Mortuary, we understand the unique needs of America’s veterans and their families. As a Level Four Founding Community Partner with We Honor Veterans, we are honored to serve our nation’s heroes and take this responsibility seriously. We have taken steps to ensure our staff is knowledgeable of all the benefits available to military veterans and their families.

In addition, we host community events annually in honor of our veterans and work closely with local veterans organizations. With respect, integrity and dignity, we will walk you through the steps of creating a veteran’s memorial service that truly honors the life and sacrifice of your loved one.

Cremation services

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in cremation, the funeral home team can explain the process and different options. From a direct cremation without a memorial service or a witness cremation to a full funeral service before or after the cremation and more, we help you understand this increasingly common choice—and handle all of the cremation arrangements. If you wish, cremated remains can be placed at Phoenix Memorial Park.

Phoenix Memorial Park cemetery

When Phoenix Memorial Park cemetery was built in 1964, there was nothing in the area save for desert animals and sandy valleys that would sometimes become impassable during rainstorms and delay burial services until things became navigable again. Today though, the cemetery is grassy all year long. In fact, it's among the few non-desert cemeteries in the Phoenix area.

Phoenix Memorial Park is notable for its verdant grounds, bubbling fountains and large pine and mesquite trees that give the cemetery property an oasis-like serenity. Lush grasses and colorful foliage provides a pleasing visual counterpoint to the austere red desert surrounding us.

Burial gardens of grace

Whatever your family's faith or tradition, Phoenix Memorial Park has a burial option for you. The cemetery offers monument sections for in-ground casket burials, lawn crypts and estates for double-depth burials that accommodate 2, 4 or 6 people. These family estates are bordered with rose bushes and green shrubbery, as well as seating areas and room for memorial benches.

The cemetery also has 2 mausoleums—1 built with gleaming Lake Superior green granite—and we plan to add a 3rd. Cremation options include single niches and family niches for placement of multiple urns.

Our cemetery team is here for you. Talk with us about your traditions and budget, and we'll give you burial choices that meet your needs.

Remembrance programs

At Phoenix Memorial Park & Mortuary, our service to you doesn’t stop at the conclusion of a celebration of life or burial. At year’s end, we host a holiday remembrance for families who have lost loved ones during that year. We treat them to refreshments and floral tributes for their loved ones. On Memorial Day, we host a stirring patriotic service with speakers from local veterans groups and a military flyover to commemorate those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
