Arizona Cemetery Records

To begin, add a cemetery record or view a list of locations and resources for Arizona cemetery records.

For years now, the state of Arizona has become a haven for retirees, which also means that it is a state that sees more than its fair share of deaths. Ordering Arizona cemetery records is easy thanks to the meticulous work of such organizations as the Arizona Funeral Directors Association located in Mesa and the Pioneer's Cemetery Association, a group dedicated to the preservation, restoration and ongoing respectful treatment of cemeteries in this state. The hot, dry weather here helps to preserve older graves here from degradation, but older areas still need near constant care from dedicated organizations like this.

There are a pair of military burial grounds in this state. The first is located in Phoenix and is known as the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. The other is located in Prescott and is known as the Prescott National. Records from these burial sites can either be obtained from the VA, from the military or directly from the cemetery if you are a surviving relative.

Obtaining Arizona cemetery records isn't difficult thanks to the excellent organizations that are constantly working hard to keep things in great shape here. If you have lost a loved one here or if you are looking to trace your family tree, order your records today.

The Arizona Gravestone Photo Project attempts to capture digital photos of tombstones across the state in hopes of preserving them for generations to come. Supported almost completely by volunteers, here you'll find a photo as well as the individual's name, birth date, death date, the name of the cemetery, and the county in which it's located. In cases where the stones are more difficult to read, some of the notes on the tombstone have been transcribed beneath the photos. To retrieve Arizona burial records, follow the instructions below.
