Not sure which one is closer to you? Either chapel can arrange any of Bunker's services — funeral, cremation, or burial — regardless of which one first brings your loved one into our care. View photos, driving directions, and virtual tours of both chapels.

Five Generations in the Same Community

Bunker Family Funerals & Cremation has been part of Mesa since 1913, when the Bunker family first opened its doors to care for this community east of Phoenix. Five generations later, we're still family-owned and still answering the phone ourselves, day or night. Mesa has grown up around us — from the historic blocks near Garden Chapel in downtown Mesa to the neighborhoods surrounding University Chapel in east Mesa — and our staff has grown with it, many of them longtime Mesa residents themselves. Whether your family has deep Mesa roots or you're new to the East Valley, you'll meet a funeral director who lives here, not a call center. We own and operate our own crematory, publish our prices online, and never hand the care of your loved one to a third party.
