Burial

Burial

When a loved one is buried, it creates a permanent resting place where family and friends can visit for years and generations to come. Burial is an option with or without a graveside service. Once the decision to bury has been made, the location of the final resting place will need to be selected. A member of our staff will help guide you through this process, including choosing a casket and headstone or marker. 

Traditional Funeral Service

Funeral services can be held in our chapel, a church, or any location that holds meaning for your family. We work closely with you to design a service that truly reflects your loved one’s life, incorporating stories, music, scripture, or other personal touches. For families who choose not to involve clergy, our funeral directors are available to lead the service. They are specially trained to create meaningful, healing experiences that honor your loved one’s memory and support your journey through grief.

Viewing

A viewing provides an opportunity to say goodbye and pay respects on a more intimate level. Spending time with the deceased before their service, whether privately or with family and friends, can be profoundly healing and can help those grieving accept their loss and begin to heal. 

Graveside Service

A graveside or committal service is usually held immediately after the funeral and offers a meaningful moment of closure. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger group of family and friends, this service can be tailored to reflect what feels most personal and fitting for your loved one.

Columbariums

Columbariums are specially designed areas with small niches that hold urns and cremated remains. Some may have a larger compartment to allow for family mementos. A columbarium may be an entire building, part of another structure, or situated in an indoor or outdoor setting. In our cemetery, all of our mausoleums have columbariums with niches. We also have private family columbariums available.

Cremation Benches

Cremation benches with areas for the cremated remains are the perfect tribute in a peaceful outdoor setting. There are many designs that offer a wonderful way to commemorate the life of a loved one.

Glass-Front Niches

Glass-front niches offer a unique and tasteful way to pay special tribute and preserve precious memories. There are glass-front niches available in our Desert Star Mausoleum as well as in our Funeral Home Building. Both offer the benefit of being air-conditioned and having comfortable seating.

Bronze Cremorials

Bronze cremorials are designed especially for families or individuals who prefer ground burial even when the option of cremation is chosen. An urn fits directly into the tamper-proof bronze memorial.

Grave Memorials

Deciding on a memorial means choosing how your loved one’s life will be marked at their final resting place. We offer a variety of handcrafted options for ground burial, mausoleum entombment, and cremation in Mesa.

Upright Memorials

Upright memorials have long been considered a prestigious and personal form of memorialization. These memorials come in many different materials and sizes and can be as simple or elaborate as you choose. Upright memorials are offered in the Garden of Latter-day Saints and in an area of the Garden of Hope.

Flat Memorials

Ground-level or flat memorials have been the norm in many cemeteries, and we offer a variety of styles and designs. Using age-old casting techniques with the latest technology, each bronze flat memorial is a work of art. Flat memorials are available for use throughout the cemetery, in our gardens, and other burial locations.

Mausoleum

Mausoleum entombment is also known as above-ground burial and is a clean and dry alternative to a traditional burial. This option eliminates some burial expenses and does not require an outer burial container.

Wall of Peace I & II

The Wall of Peace series is located along the west border of Mountain View, beginning near Main Street and stretching north. Wall of Peace I and II still have a limited number of open crypts and niches.

Wall of Peace III

The newest Wall of Peace III is a beautiful structure that has a covered and gated meditation area with a water feature. It is currently available with crypts, waterfall niches, wall niches, and cenotaphs.

Private Mausoleums

Private mausoleums are lasting structures used for the entombment of families or groups. Each mausoleum is designed to reflect a family’s unique heritage and create a permanent tribute to their legacy.

Companion Crypts

Companion crypts come in a variety of designs and materials and can be arranged vertically or side by side. One- to six-crypt preassembled private mausoleums are available for placement on your own cemetery site.

Chapel Mausoleums

These mausoleums house a chapel in which indoor services can take place. Our Desert Star Chapel Mausoleum offers areas for committal and graveside services, and there are still niches and crypts available.

Garden Mausoleums

Garden mausoleums are open-air structures that provide a lasting and beautiful remembrance option. Special landscaping features and the outdoor environment make this a desirable choice for many people.

The Coury Family Mausoleum

This exclusive area holds a special place in our hearts as the final resting place for the Coury family members. The Coury family mausoleum contains about 50 crypts.

Vaults

Choosing a burial or urn vault provides an added layer of lasting protection. These durable outer containers safeguard your loved one’s resting place while preventing ground settling, preserving the grounds for generations to come.

Burial Vaults

A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the casket and protects it from the weight of the earth and heavy maintenance equipment that may pass over the grave. Because a burial vault is water-resistant, it also helps preserve the beauty of the cemetery by preventing the ground from settling.

Urn Vault

Urns that will be buried in the ground are required to be placed in an urn vault. A lined urn vault is made of high-strength concrete and reinforced with durable plastic or a combination of durable plastic and metal.

Caskets

A casket reflects the unique character, dignity, and memory of your loved one. Whether you feel drawn to the protective strength of metal or the natural warmth and beauty of hardwood, our options provide thoughtful choices for every family.

Metal Caskets

Bronze, copper, stainless steel, and steel are known for their unique finishes. Bronze and copper are among the most durable and beautiful metals; both are naturally non-rusting. Stainless and carbon steel caskets come in a variety of grades, gauges, styles, and finishes.

Bronze: The strongest and longest-lasting of any casket material. Bronze is resistant to corrosive elements, an important consideration in selecting a casket.

Copper: Copper also resists corrosion. Copper casket finishes are natural, brushed, or painted. This natural and precious metal expresses a remarkable life.

Stainless Steel: Stainless steel offers the quality and durability of copper and bronze for the price of standard steel. It’s a product that families understand and value in their everyday life.

Steel: The long-lasting nature of metal combined with its affordability and performance makes steel caskets one of the most popular selections. The range of colors also makes each selection unique.

Hardwood Caskets

Options include mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, oak, pecan, poplar, and pine. These caskets are the choice of families who appreciate and cherish the qualities of natural wood. The warmth, beauty, and personality of hardwood make it ideal for the construction of quality caskets.

Hardwood is strong, beautiful, and shock-resistant. When families choose a hardwood casket, they are leaving a legacy for the next generation because wood is a renewable resource. Caskets undergo a rigorous production process that ensures consistent quality through craftsmanship and attention to detail. After the casket is assembled, it is hand-rubbed with multiple coats of lacquer. Hardwood caskets are completed with a fully polished, hand-rubbed high-gloss or satin finish. While all hardwood caskets can be cremated, we also offer a selection of hardwood caskets that are ideally suited for cremation.

Cremation Containers

These containers are made from cardboard, composite, and solid wood components and are fully combustible. Some have no interior, such as the cardboard alternative container. Some have interiors and are suitable for family-only viewing, while others are suitable for public viewing.

Cremation Caskets

Available in a wide variety of styles and prices, cremation caskets are suitable for services with a visitation, viewing, or gathering held prior to the cremation. They can be made of composite and solid wood components.
