Cremation is increasingly preferred in Gilbert and across Arizona, now representing over 60% of final arrangements statewide. The two local funeral homes both offer comprehensive cremation packages alongside traditional burial services. Arizona's warm, dry climate and growing population of transplants contribute to this trend, though religious and cultural preferences vary by family.

Visit each location to assess cleanliness, staff professionalism, and whether their approach aligns with your family's needs. Arizona does not require funeral home licensing beyond business registration, so verify membership in professional associations like NFDA or Arizona Funeral Directors Association.
Contact one of Gilbert's two funeral homes immediately; staff will coordinate transportation from the place of death to their facility. Arizona requires a physician or medical examiner to certify cause of death before cremation or burial permits issue. The funeral home will guide families through authorization paperwork, begin refrigeration if needed, and schedule arrangement conferences within the first day.
Arizona law mandates embalming only for public viewing exceeding 24 hours or interstate transport, though refrigeration satisfies most situations. Burial requires a cemetery plot or private property meeting county health standards; Gilbert falls under Maricopa County jurisdiction for death certificates and permits. Scattering ashes is permitted on private land with owner consent and on most public lands with restrictions.
Both Gilbert funeral homes offer pre-planning services, allowing families to lock in current prices and document specific wishes. Arizona regulates prepaid funeral contracts through the State Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, requiring funds to be held in trust or insurance products. Pre-arrangements can be transferred between the two providers if relocation or preference changes occur.
