Cremation Services

Cremation Services

At San Tan Memorial Gardens at Schnepf Farms, we understand that cremation is a deeply personal choice. While we do not have a chapel on-site, families are welcome to hold a final farewell prior to the cremation inside our climate-controlled mausoleum, provided your chosen funeral home handles the transport. Please note that we do not arrange the actual cremation itself; your funeral home will complete that service prior to a graveside committal or placement on our grounds.


We are committed to providing a variety of permanent memorialization options—from peaceful cremation gardens to elegant columbarium niches—that honor the unique legacy of each individual. To ensure every family has a beautiful place to return to, we offer affordable placement options and flexible payment plans within our tranquil landscape, preserving your loved one's tribute for generations to come.

Ceremonial Farewell followed by Cremation

For many, the tradition of a formal gathering provides essential comfort and structure. You may choose to host a visitation or full service on our tranquil grounds prior to the cremation process. This allows family and friends the opportunity for a final viewing and a shared time of remembrance. Following the service, we provide a variety of permanent placement options—from interment in a marble columbarium to a dedicated garden niche—ensuring that even with cremation, there is a peaceful, lasting landmark where your loved one’s story continues.

The Memorial Tribute

A memorial service at our gardens is a celebration of a life well-lived, held either in our peaceful chapel or at a meaningful location within our landscape. Because the urn is present rather than a casket, families often feel a greater flexibility in timing and personalization. Our team assists in coordinating ceremonies filled with music, storytelling, and scripture. If you prefer a service led by a life celebrant rather than clergy, we offer specialized facilitators who excel at creating healing, personalized experiences that honor your loved one's legacy amidst the beauty of the gardens.

The Urn Placement & Graveside Committal

A graveside service for cremated remains offers a profound sense of closure and a "coming home" to the earth. Whether placing an urn within a family plot or a specialized cremation estate, this intimate gathering at the final site of rest provides a quiet sanctuary for reflection. It is a heartfelt way to conclude the journey of farewell, laying your loved one to rest with dignity in a place that will be meticulously cared for and honored for generations to come.
