We are so grateful for the expertise, expediency, and empathy they provided our family during the planning process of laying a loved one to rest. They expertly guided us through all the necessary details not matter how tedious, including her coffin and funeral announcement, both of which reflected her spirit and personality perfectly! My beloved Grandma wished to be reunited in death with her husband - and love of her life - who was buried at National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in in 1993. Alden-Waggoner went above and beyond while coordinating the transport and receiving of her body to Wyman Funeral Home in Mesa, Arizona. Everything went smoothly and precisely as planned. My Grandma was given the respect and dignity she deserved, and had a funeral which reflected her extraordinary life and exuberant spirit. We are so appreciative to Alden-Waggoner for their help with this!

Carrie Logan, the daughter of Thomas and Carolyn Logan, was buried in Pioneer Cemetery on August 22, 1864, at the age of 5 years, 11 months, and 5 days. Although others were buried before her, hers is the cemetery's oldest burial stone that can still be read. Among those laid to rest here are Governor Robert E. Smylie, Governor Edward J. Curtis, Mayor John Lemp, Mayor Thomas E. Logan, Governor Edward A. Stevenson and Governor Cecil D. Andrus. The cemetery is in excellent condition and is easily navigable. I wasn't able to find anyone other than Governor Andrus, but I'm sure some more diligent searching would have done it. Perhaps a posted guide would be useful.
