We appreciate the trust that is placed in us by the families we serve. At Messinger Mortuaries our first priority is the needs of these families. This dedication and commitment to our families has made us one of the most respected funeral homes in Arizona. We will continue to provide considerate, compassionate care to our families in the future. So whether you wish for a traditional funeral service or a simple cremation, our goal is to serve you.

Our funeral directors individually have many years of experience and offer their extensive resources to personalize the funeral service. When a loved one has died, it is essential that the survivors be led through the grieving process. We understand this process and know that it may be extremely difficult for some. We offer services that conform to the needs of the individual. Whether the choice is for a traditional funeral service, a direct cremation, or something in between, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to serve the families that call upon us.

Below you will see pictures of our facilities at Messinger Indian School Mortuary. The rooms you see can be used for visitation, memorial services or funeral services. Each room has its own sound system complete with cassette tape and CD playing capabilities; we also have pianos and organ systems that can be used for a service.

Our non-denominational chapel can seat up to 150 people. The services in the chapel can also be recorded onto a VCR tape for friends and families to view later. The Chapel has a private sitting room off to the side that can be used by the family, or for overflow seating during the service.

The Sonoran room has its own stereo and piano system, and will comfortably hold 45 people. This room features gentle lighting, stylish paintings, and family room seating. It is very intimate and private.

The Verde room offers the same amenities as room C and will host 35 of your friends and family.

The family lounge is where family and friends can have coffee and tea and relax.
