Aftercare Service
Once the funeral services are over, now what? What to do about the bank, insurance, financial accounts, real estate, etc.?

Menke Funeral & Cremation Center is pleased to offer Aftercare Service at no charge. This optional service takes place from the comfort of your home in the form of a phone consultation. The Aftercare Estate Specialist will walk the family through a checklist of what needs to be done. An email is sent to the family following the appointment detailing everything that was discussed. If the family doesn't want or need help, no problem. If they change their mind later and decide would like to use Aftercare Service, that’s okay, too.

Aftercare Service is just another way Menke Funeral & Cremation Center is assisting families in their time of need.

National Go Fishing Day

What a great way to relax by dipping your fishing line in the water and be surrounded by nature. Arizona boasts 128 lakes suitable for fishing. Plus you can cast your line into the Colorado River and its reservoirs, and the city lakes and ponds that are stocked with fish.

Embracing Your Grief Journey

We know losing a loved one is a challenging time and want to extend a caring welcome and let you know that you're not alone in your grief journey.

Grieving is a deeply personal experience, and it's normal to feel a range of emotions. The pain you're experiencing is valid, and acknowledging it is the first step toward healing. As you navigate this journey, remember that there is no timeline for grief.

Bee Inspired by Nature to Nourish Us All

World Bee Day is celebrated on May 20, the birth date of Anton Janša (1734–1773), a Slovenian beekeeper, the pioneer of modern beekeeping.

This year’s theme is “Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all.” The theme highlights that bees nourish everyone, not just in the important role they play in food production, but in our broader environment, strengthening landscapes that we can all enjoy every day.

World Bee Day raises awareness of the importance of protecting bees and other pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to a sustainable future. It provides an opportunity for governments, organizations and concerned citizens worldwide to promote actions that will protect and enhance pollinators and their habitats, improve their abundance and diversity, and support the sustainable development of beekeeping.
