Evergreen Mortuary & Cemetery

Evergreen Mortuary

Evergreen Mortuary has been conveniently located within the park like setting of Evergreen Cemetery since 1974. This provides a benefit to the families we serve by having all three facilities, mortuary, cemetery and crematory, available in one location. The facilities at Evergreen Mortuary, Cemetery & Crematory are specially designed to ensure a comfortable, dignified environment. 

Evergreen’s non-denominational chapel can be used for large visitations, traditional and non-traditional services and gatherings. The wall of windows overlooking the garden and grounds gives a peaceful, cool atmosphere. In addition to the large seating capacity, the chapel includes an organ and new state-of-the-art video and sound system. Evergreen’s staff is trained to scan favorite photos to a DVD for viewing on our 52 inch HD television located in the chapel. Families can also utilize our music library or provide their own choices to individualize their funeral service or celebration of life.

Not only has Evergreen has been named as one of the top three funeral homes in Tucson for a second year in a row by Three Best Rated, but Evergreen Mortuary has also been recognized as a Finalist for Best Mortuary 2019 by the Arizona Daily Star and Tucson.com Readers Choice Awards. 

Evergreen’s visitation rooms are decorated to provide a serene and peaceful home like atmosphere. A large, well lighted parking area adjacent to the mortuary offers convenient handicapped access as well as regular parking. 

Evergreen Cemetery

Evergreen was founded in 1907 as a place outside of the rapidly growing Tucson city limits for burial purposes. A considerable number of burials from the main cemetery located within the town limits as well as Presidio Cemetery were relocated to Evergreen. Today, the remains of many pioneers from old ranch sites and homesteads are re-interred within Evergreen’s boundaries. Evergreen is proud to be listed as a Bird Sanctuary by the Audubon Society of Tucson, where during migration season many unique species can be sighted, due to our extensive and vast collection of trees.   

Foreseeing the necessity for complete funeral services in one convenient location, Evergreen Mortuary was established in 1974, making Evergreen the first and the largest mortuary and cemetery combination in Southern Arizona. Evergreen was acquired by NorthStar Memorial Group (NSMG) in 2014. For more than a decade, NSMG has guided the future of the funeral and memorialization profession with a mission to care, comfort and plan. As industry leaders, NSMG is dedicated to serving the living by honoring the deceased and the legacies they entrust in our care. NSMG represents the nation's finest funeral, cemetery, cremation and memorialization locations. Each is unique, each is home to a tradition of leadership, and all uphold our promise of unprecedented passion and service.

Its management and staff has always been dedicated to a higher level of ethics and business practices setting standards in our industry through involvement in Tucson’s nonprofit community and state legislation. Steeped in this proud tradition, Evergreen’s commitment to the Tucson community remains as we maintain excellence in family service. In 1982 the National Funeral Directors Association initiated their “Pursuit of Excellence Program” and Evergreen immediately became involved. Since then, Evergreen consistently has been recognized nationally for its participation receiving three Eagle Awards, gaining the prestigious Emeritus Status and ultimately receiving their Crystal Eagle Awards. It has always been a goal at Evergreen Mortuary, Cemetery and Crematory to provide full information to the public regarding funeral arrangements and their cost. Evergreen firmly believes that informed people make wise decisions.

Today, when individual attitudes require a variety of funeral service alternatives, the family will discover Evergreen’s professional staff to be informative and helpful when considering service details.
