On February 16, 2017 I received the call that every child dreads. My mom had passed away. My dad and I met with Jennifer at Chapel of the Chimes hours after this devastating loss hit our family. Jennifer was compassionate, discrete, warm, giving and the go-between with family members when a mediator was needed. The following 7 days were the hardest of my life and Jennifer was there every step of the way. She handled everything and I can never thank her and the team from Chapel of the Chimes enough. My mom's ceremony was beautiful and I am so grateful to have gone through this with someone who had compassion for us as we struggled with our new reality. May God bless and strengthen you in your own burdens through life.

My grandmother passed away on April 26th and prior to her passing, I did extensive research on funeral homes and mortuaries within the valley. I read hundreds of reviews and made many calls and Hansen just felt right. We selected Hansen to be who we would use when the need arose. A few weeks later, my grandmother peacefully slipped away. Her hospice team made contact with Hansen Desert Hills and the process was seamless and professional. Two days after her passing, we went to the Desert Hills location to make arrangements with Cami. Nothing felt pressured or sales-driven, as we had experienced years prior at another funeral home when my grandfather passed away. We had many variables at play, including a burial trust and plans for an out of state interment, and Cami navigated everything perfectly and expertly. We also interacted with Charlii the receptionist during this process and she was wonderful as well. We picked my grandmother's remains up the following week and had a lovely walk through Hansen's memorial garden. It was all very peaceful and again, just felt right. I'm sorry if you have a need for a mortuary, but Hansen took great care of us.

Rest Haven Park Cemetery is pretty much what you'd expect from a cemetery. Quiet neighbors, nobody…read moreblasting music and you definitely won't hear anyone complaining about the rent. The grounds are kept pretty clean and there's plenty of open space with mature trees providing some much needed shade. From what I saw the graves and headstones were well maintained with flowers throughout the cemetery. Definitely no grave concerns there. It's also probably the one place where people are dying to get in but nobody's in a hurry to leave a Yelp review afterward. The residents mostly keep to themselves. Very little drama and everyone seems to be resting peacefully. You could say the place has good spirits. All jokes aside it's a peaceful and well maintained cemetery. A nice final resting place for loved ones and somewhere families can visit without the grounds looking neglected. Overall I'd say Rest Haven is doing a pretty ghoul... errr GOOD job. I'd give them a grave review but I don't want to urn myself any dirty looks. Five stars. Dead serious.

Our experience with Abel Funeral Services and, in particular, Bri, has been nothing short of…read moreexceptional during a challenging time for our family. From the very first phone call, Bri demonstrated a level of professionalism, empathy, and efficiency that set Abel Funeral Services apart. We had initially started with a different service (which I have since given a 1 star review and filed a formal compliant with the AZ Dept of Health Services) who would not provide pricing transparency or service information in a timely manner so we decided to switch to Abel based on a friend's recommendation. In our initial 10-minute call, Bri efficiently provided us with all the necessary pricing and timing information, leaving us feeling well-informed and supported. Her transparency and willingness to address our questions instilled confidence, making a difficult process surprisingly manageable. What truly stood out was Bri's follow-up and reassurance regarding our mother's care. The personalized attention and genuine concern for our family's well-being were evident in every interaction. Bri went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported and informed throughout the entire process including calling us after their office closed to reassure us our mother was in their care. Abel Funeral Services, through Bri's outstanding service, turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one marked by compassion, efficiency, and genuine care. We are immensely grateful for the support and guidance provided during this difficult time.

I just recently passed three years since my mother had passed away, and it came down to me to find…read morea mortuary and a cemetery rather quickly. While we already had a mortuary in mind, we had no idea which cemetery to use. I set up a bunch of meetings and planned visits within the days right after my mother had passed, and I was quite disappointed with most of those we visited. I experienced poor customer service, a cemetery that didn't see very well kept, an inconvenient place to visit or some other issue. When I came across Paradise Memorial Gardens, I was extremely pleased with how well they communicated, their excellent customer service, and the layout and ease of visiting the cemetery. I had reached out to Dan and quickly heard back from him. I had told him what exactly we were looking for in terms of a location, stone, and service, and he certainly rose to the occasion to ensure that we had the date and time of the funeral and later an unveiling. He explained the prices and answered many questions that my family members and I had asked. Dan was responsive whether we were connecting right before the funeral or in the months that followed when planning an unveiling. For such a stressful time, I was pleased to have someone we made a connection with to reach out to. The actual Paradise Memorial Gardens cemetery is laid out nicely. Instead of other cemeteries where stones are all sticking up out of the ground, many of the stones are flat on the ground where they blend in with the nature. My mother's stone is near a big tree, which provides some shade when I visit her in hotter months. There is a small lake where swans and Canadian geese like to roam. For an interesting story, ask the staff about the swans. There is also a heated and air-conditioned mausoleum onsite which I had been in only once when a friend passed away a number of years ago. There is plenty of parking on the side of the single street that circles the site. There are two entrances, one off of Shea Blvd and the other off 92nd Street. While I didn't use them, I heard good things about the Messinger Mortuaries, which is directly tied to the Paradise Memorial Gardens. I certainly encourage anyone looking for a cemetery (and possibly a mortuary) to check them out.
