About Abel Funeral Services

Abel Funeral Services is an independently owned funeral home in Phoenix, founded in 2002 and currently operated by Spencer and Meghan McBride, with no corporate chain affiliation. They offer a full range of services including cremation, traditional burial, memorial ceremonies, pre-planning, veterans benefits assistance, aftercare, and out-of-state coordination, though no on-site crematory is confirmed and obituary assistance is not available. Specific pricing is not publicly listed, but multiple reviewers describe costs as affordable and clearly itemized for the Phoenix market, so families should request the General Price List directly by phone or in person before making any arrangements. The home holds a 4.1 out of 5 rating across 169 Google reviews, with recurring praise for compassionate, named staff members and clear communication; one BBB complaint describing policy failures around remains release and a reported inconsistency in front-desk treatment are worth keeping in mind, and families are advised to confirm all policies in writing before finalizing arrangements.

My brothers cremation isn't completed yet, but from the moment I called Abel to prearrange my needs for my brother in hospice, everyone was compassionate and complying with all the family wishes.

I wish I had the gentleman’s name who transported my mother. He …
