About Messinger Indian School Mortuary

Messinger Indian School Mortuary is an independently and family-owned funeral home that has served the Scottsdale and Phoenix metro area since 1959, operating as the flagship of the broader Messinger Mortuaries network, which includes multiple chapel locations, affiliated cemetery properties, and an on-site crematory. The network offers a wide range of services under one roof, including direct cremation, traditional burial, veterans services, pet aftercare, pre-planning, and reception facilities — the owned crematory and cemetery affiliations being a practical advantage for families who prefer to manage all arrangements with a single provider. No public pricing data was available, so families should request an itemized General Price List before beginning arrangements; one unverified complaint alleged cost misrepresentation during the arrangement process, which is worth keeping in mind. Reviews are generally positive across multiple platforms, with staff members — several named individually — consistently praised for compassion and attentiveness, though a recurring cluster of recent complaints describes damage to grave markers at the affiliated cemetery property and difficulty reaching staff to resolve it, a concern families considering burial there should address directly and in writing before committing.

I agree with Mr X’s review. My father was recently buried here and we have had a horrible experience with everyone we have had to deal with. No one responded to emails, returned calls or cares about providing good service during the most difficult thing a family must go through. Most recently my Fat…

My family are beyond upset at how this place is now run! My husband was buried there on August 4, 2025. We gave up trying to buy the grave marker from them because of the unavailability of staff and purchased the stone elsewhere. We trusted them to do the placement of this stone, but when we saw …

My Father has been buried here since 2014. I have never seen this disgusting condition of my parents section (or any other section) in the 11 years I've been coming here. I am in the funeral business and I know there is specialty equipment that can be laid down under heavy machinery to prevent this …

My father passed away due to COVID-19, and with all the restrictions at that time and me being stricken with COVID as well, I did not have a proper service for him. I have kept his ashes at home, and when the opportunity f…

Kat Hastert, with Paradise Memorial Gardens, made the most difficult time we've experienced as a family such a warm and pleasant experience! Her bubbly personality put us at ease. She came up with several options for our needs, and she even made us smile as we worked through a lovely end result. …
