Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery occupies a 40-acre campus in central Scottsdale that has served generations of Arizona families since 1957. The facility holds the distinction of being Arizona's first funeral home-cemetery combination, established when the funeral home was added to the existing cemetery in 1962. The Hawkins family—Lisle, Ruth, and their sons—founded the cemetery in 1957 after relocating from Montana, transforming farmland into what would become one of Scottsdale's most established memorial parks.
Today the property operates as part of the Dignity Memorial network while maintaining its local identity. The cemetery features 15 distinct gardens, ponds, and water features that create a verdant contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. The funeral home underwent renovation to become a light-filled, modern facility with flexible event spaces designed for both intimate gatherings and large celebrations of life.
