We Remain Family Owned

At Bunker Family Funerals & Cremation, we take great pride in being locally owned and operated. Recently, many longstanding family-owned funeral homes have sold to publicly traded or nationally operated private equity conglomerates. While we acknowledge the years of service provided by the previous owners, it’s important for the community to know that these organizations are no longer owned by the wonderful, local families who operated them previously.

Why does this matter? Because funeral service is too delicate, sensitive, and personal to be mass operated by large corporations from New York, Texas, or Florida.

Because many of these large organizations continue to operate under the previous names, here is a list of funeral homes in the East Valley owned by a publicly traded and/or national organization:

Local Funeral Homes Now Owned by National or Publicly Traded Companies:

• Meldrum Mortuary (Foundation Partners Group)
• Falconer Funeral Home (Foundation Partners Group)
• Wyman Cremation & Burial (Foundation Partners Group)
• Legacy Funeral Home (Foundation Partners Group)
• Melchers Mortuary (Service Corporation International)
• Mariposa Gardens Memorial Park & Funeral Care (Service Corporation International)
• Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery (Service Corporation International)
• Queen of Heaven Funeral Home & Cemetery (Catholic Diocese)

 
We built our organization on the foundation of exceptional service and family satisfaction. We remain locally owned and wholly committed to providing your family with the highest level of personal service and care in your time of need.
