Services
Hansen Mortuary Chapel occupies a central Phoenix location at 8314 N. 7th Street, providing funeral and cremation services with on-site arrangement facilities. The original location maintains 24/7 availability for immediate response. Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary and Cemetery, opened in 1997 at 6500 E. Bell Road in Scottsdale, combines funeral services with cemetery operations on a single campus. The property features the architectural Bell Tower Mausoleum, the interactive Healing Garden designed for sensory-based grief processing, and dedicated pet cemetery grounds. Both locations include chapel and reception facilities configurable for services ranging from intimate gatherings to celebrations of life with hundreds of attendees.
Hansen structures arrangements around family pace and preferences, with staff trained to listen first and guide only when families are ready.
Hansen Mortuary traces its roots to 1950, when Chester and Janice Hansen founded the original Phoenix location. Their four children — Rae Jeanne, Brad, Craig, and Trish — grew up in the business, carrying forward their parents' vision of comprehensive death care. In 1997, the family expanded with Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary and Cemetery in Scottsdale, creating a two-location operation that serves families across the greater Phoenix area. Today, Trish Hansen Kerr leads the organization, maintaining the family's hands-on approach.
The business operates under the philosophy that "death care is for the living," emphasizing grief support and healing alongside traditional funeral services. This focus manifests in dedicated grief resources, including content from Dr. Sandi and programming around "The Acute Loss Period."
With its own crematory and cemetery, Hansen offers families continuity of care that eliminates third-party transfers. The organization has earned a 4.9-star Google rating across 527 reviews, with particularly strong marks for their Desert Hills location.
