We welcome you to tour our funeral home and crematory, meet our staff, and get comfortable that we are the right fit to care for your loved one.

We Own & Operate Our Own Crematory

Many funeral homes subcontract their cremation service in Mesa to third-party facilities and therefore don’t have complete quality control over the care of your loved one. At A Wise Choice, we have affordable cremation packages, and own our own crematory, ensuring that your loved one will never leave the care of our staff. We have extensive programs and training in place to assure you that your loved one receives the most dignified care at all times.

Cremation is a popular and cost-effective alternative to traditional burial. But what does it really cost for cremation? And how much will you save if you choose cremation instead? We can help answer some of these questions for those considering cremation: Do I need an appointment before coming into the funeral home for cremation services? What do I bring with me? How long does it take for my loved one’s ashes to become available once they have been collected from the funeral home? All of these questions can be answered by our staff, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

What Is Cremation and How Does It Work?

Cremation is a process that involves incinerating the body of the deceased, as opposed to burying it underground. In modern times, cremations have become more popular than burials because they are often less expensive and typically require much shorter periods of time before being completed. Like burial services, there are many specific steps involved in completing the entire process successfully and respectfully for those who choose this alternative form of disposition after death.

How Much is the Cost of Cremation in Arizona?

The average cost of cremation in Arizona is between $1,500 and $3,000. At A Wise Choice, our direct cremation starts at $845. We also offer some options to include a funeral service before cremation or memorial.

Why Choose Cremation Over Traditional Burial?

Cremation is not only the least expensive option for disposition, but it also provides families with more flexibility in how they choose to memorialize their loved ones. It is a great choice when burial space or finances are limited and/or if you want a simpler way of honoring your loved one’s life.

Why should someone opt for cremation over other forms of disposition? Cremation can be less costly than traditional burial as there’s no need for an elaborate casket. They take up far less physical space too which makes them ideal choices under circumstances where land availability may be restricted such as urban areas.

The Benefits of Cremation

Cremation is beneficial for many reasons. Cremated remains are easier to transport and store. Cremation is usually cheaper and faster. It also reduces the amount of space needed to store remains by about 90%. Some people prefer cremation because it allows them to say goodbye in a more intimate setting than traditional burial service.
