We have used WM for several family members and have done outstanding job.

First rate service and compassion from everyone we spoke to and met with. Felt very taken care of in a difficult time. Barb was great. I forget the name of the younger gentleman I spoke with originally on the phone (I am from Seattle). Both were great. Professional but felt caring and compassionate. Their tone and words were really spot on. They were also able to cremate my mother in time for us to take her back to Seattle with us less than a week later which was very appreciated. Everything was very good.

Barb and Celinda making the transition run smoothly. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home Services.

Shawn Murphy great guy👍 Best service in whole Arizona. Everything is done very well. You guys are the best thank you for everything made my life a lot easier in my hardest moment.

Mike Burke was great to work with. I appreciate his compassion and desire to satisfy all requests.

Mr. Mike, I was very satisfied with everything. The service was great and the personnel were very courteous and professional.

Care, compassion, reputation.

The care and comfort provided at Whitney Murphy exceeded our expectations during a very difficult time. Barb. She is absolutely outstanding. This was the second time Barb helped us with a loved one. First time was almost 4 years ago with my Uncle and most recently with my father. Barb remembered us and she provided the most comfortable experience as you could make given the circumstances. Gave us many options for different urns. Helped us further by providing a book to pick out an additional option for an Urn. Gave us the time we needed during the entire process. Thank you for taking special care while my father was in your care. We appreciate the staff and how caring they were during the difficult process. You continue to exceed our expectations during the difficult moments we have had as a family, but we appreciate you treat us as family when we are in there. Thank you.

Interaction with Matt and others. Immediate response to all inquiries. Excellent customer service.

Amanda's handling of everything with the utmost attention to detail. She also addressed everything with a tremendous sensitivity to our loss. Long story short she made the absolute best of our situation and really treated us like family. Thank you very much. As stated earlier Amanda handled everything well beyond our expectations and treated us as if we were part of her own family.

Just keep it up as we all need your services at one time or another!

I wouldn’t go any place other than Whitney and Murphy. The death of my son was unexpected and I had never been through any of this process before. When my son was sent to another place and was told they couldn’t do the viewing until the following week. My children who flew in from out of state needed to be here for the viewing. We called around and Whitney and Murphy got us in the same day. Literally 3 hours later. Contacted where my son was at and as we were leaving the lady came out to say my son was there. We had his viewing the next day. The communication was exceptional and the follow through was more than imaginable. They were absolutely wonderful. Mike was so very helpful from start to finish. Being so accommodating with our timeline. You all did such a good job in one of the worst moments of my life.

Amanda was extremely helpful and considerate she treated us like we were family!!! The extreme empathy shown to us made all the difference!!! It was a beautiful service the flowers were beautiful and the Reverend did a great job!!!!

Kind, professional, helpful, knowledgeable true heartfelt sympathy. Matt was and is still our contact. Kind, considerate, thoughtful and knowledgeable. They truly cared.

Everything…..communication………….empathy…..honesty…….compassion…presentation….the list goes in….Shawn is absolutely the BEST all around!😍 Shawn……he’s the best in the business….overall on everything….wouldn’t work with or trust anyone else How personal and flexible they were….communication was a 10+++

Service, knowledge, and compassion. Shawn was our main contact for my sister's arrangements and was absolutely wonderful. By no means was he the only one. We were always welcomed warmly by anyone that we encountered. It's very comforting to have someone with knowledge to guide you through such a difficult time.

Barb was my funeral Director. She knew I was feeling confused, sad, unsure of how to handle everything. She gently walked me through the steps and showed so much compassion. When I went back to the funeral home to pick up, my mom‘s remains, the young man who helped me had such a great demeanor. Very compassionate and friendly. I appreciated the way they handled my moms, final wishes, and me. Barb was wonderful. For the reasons I mentioned before. Also, I called to see when the death certificates would be in and apparently I was expecting them sooner than they normally come in. I told the young lady I spoke with that I was headed to New Mexico to take care of my mom‘s estate and she was able to get the death certificates for me the next day. I felt like they really went out of their way to make sure I had what I needed.

Everything! Customer service and all other areas that are difficult to handle at the time that your family member passes. Easy going tailored to our needs. No high pressure, very knowledgeable in all areas.

My simple needs were handled warmly and efficiently by Amanda. Amanda is cool.

They really took care of the family and the needed that we share with them! Matt, he was the very first person the family talked but it was truly a team effort at the end! The caring, concern and the professional staff. No, They did above and beyond what we needed. I wouldn't change anything every thing was perfect!!!!

Amanda was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Amanda Murphy was highly professional and knowledgeable throughout the planning and service. She has great attention to detail, and she was able to answer all of our questions. Amanda was able to respond to our questions and emails quickly. In addition, she was dedicated to our family’s wishes and requests. She was a blessing to our family during this difficult time. Our family loved that our father (husband to our mother) was wrapped in an American Flag cover from Ryan’s House to Whitney and Murphy. The morning our father passed, this gesture gave our family a beautiful farewell. Everyone was sensitive to our families needs during this process. We are very thankful that you walked along side us, as we navigated the planning while grieving our father.

Making the arrangements for my mother's services with Whitney and Murphy was easy. Shawn Murphy was very caring. He answered all my questions and returned my calls promptly. The services turned out well as my mother looked so Beautiful like an Angel. The atmosphere was nice and clean. We had plenty of room for all our guests. The staff was always pleasant, professional and helpful. Not at all. The service was Excellent! Thank you Whitney and Murphy for making my mother and the service so Beautiful.

Service provided by Matt Asta. He is very calm, knowledgeable and supportive. Matt worked with my sisters and I to hold our mom's service on what would have been our parents 70th wedding anniversary. The three of us had a little trouble getting with Matt earlier in the week. He worked with us via email and telephone to keep the process moving. Thank you Matt and family. Matt Asta, Al and Anthony Asta, as well as the ladies in the office, helped us throughout the process.

The compassion that was shown to us at the death of our daughter was wonderful. Amanda and Stephanie were wonderful to work with.

I have had lots of unusual trouble with the death of my nephew, and they have accommodated every problem I have had with grace and accommodation. This applies especially to Barb McGrath, but also to all I have spoken with when she was not available. I am very grateful and though this is still not over, I am willing to give them the highest scores you have in these areas. My situation could have been unmanageable without Barb's cooperation, for which I am indebted.

Matt Asta was very efficient and Caring to us. He explained everything in full and gave us a chance to ask our questions. Amanda Murphy was wonderful at the mausoleum. It means a lot to us to know you care. The services were made so special at the visitation and at the mass at St Theresa’s. We couldn’t have asked for any better. Everyone was so kind and compassionate to us at this most difficult time. We are very grateful to you. Our family and friends have been coming to you for many years and wouldn’t go any where else. All of you have always been so caring and efficient at a very difficult time. Thank you very much.

The care and concern has been tremendous. This is the second time we have used Whitney & Murphy. Barb is fantastic. very helpful and understanding. Staff totally understands and there is a good feeling, like a closeness of family.

We have known Al Asta for a long time. He helped me with my Dad in 2016 and my Mom in February. Al and his team did a great job and I could rely on them for anything we discussed, that it would be taken care of promptly, competently, and with the utmost care. Thanks to Al and his team for a their help.

I started the process with Amanda, and she was the lead from then on. When she was out or not available there was always someone else that responded immediately. They know what Customer Service means. They care!

Incredible service with empathy and passion! Shawn and entire staff! Like family!

Very professional, very compassionate, Everything was perfect.

The concerns and helping at a sad time. Everyone Professional, with my father’s respect and care. Thank you for what you do, not all can do it.

Always ensure all is explained and understood as family members may be overwhelmed. The compassion and care of everything…..

Family history of outstanding care and service. The O'Connor and King families have used Whitney & Murphy since the sixties and have always been well cared for.

The kindness and ease in which they helped our family. The respect they showed to our family and the ease of dealing with all of the logistics.

Customer care, support and attention to detail. We appreciated all of your time and genuine care. Everything from beginning to end. The genuine care, guidance and sincerity provided were extremely helpful.

Me parecio un excelente servicio. Amanda Murphy fue muy amable y comprenciva con nuestra familia. To me parecio muy bien asi como nosotros lo pedimos.

Professionalism. Ethics. Empathy. Friendly. Knowing how to treat people and being Friendly and courteous at the same time considering the circumstances.  Amanda Murphy, she was the person that helped us get everything in order. Was wonderful working with her.

Everyone that worked with us was wonderful. The gentlemen that came to the house for my mother, Matt, Anthony, Celinda, everyone. They were kind, caring, supportive and so helpful with things I didn’t know how to do. Matt never hesitated about anything I asked for, nor pushed me for anything. Additionally I appreciate being able to have a casket from an outside source and not being made to feel like I was being cheap for my Mom. That savings made it possible for me to afford having a lovely catered luncheon at the reception. People enjoyed that and stayed and visited through the afternoon. That really helped us to celebrate my Mom. In a sad time for my family, Whitney-Murphy was a positive experience. Thank you. It was perfect. So many good comments from family and friends.

My family has been blessed to have had the benefit and gracious services of Whitney & Murphy since my Nonno Dominic Cuzzocrea passed in 1954. Since that year, this caring, quality-minded team has provided compassion and impeccable service to many family members. The latest event sadly involved the passing of our beloved Mother. Anthony and his team attended to every detail with patience, understanding, and clarity. God Bless the Whitney & Murphy team. Anthony and Celinda. Professional, exemplary, caring, compassionate. Anthony went above and beyond to secure services at the Franciscan Renewal Center. The setting could not have been more perfect for our Mother. The W & M Team is the best in their profession.

Whitney & Murphy expertly took care of my family with tremendous skill and compassion. Matt was a great listener and was able to perfectly translate what we wanted for our memorial, which turned out perfectly.  

Barb and Celinda both assisted me and my family and were just so loving and caring!

Excellent service Anthony was very nice and made sure all arrangements were made. Exceptional service.

Amanda did everything in kindness, my family felt no stress and we left the funeral home with lighter weight.

Beautiful, and attentive staff.

The care that they provided to family and friends. The setting was lovely and a convenient location for our service.

They were so caring and thoughtful. Helped me get through this terrible loss of my husband.

Everyone we had contact with was extremely professional and kind. Anthony and Matt were very attentive and helped us with everything we needed.

The funeral home is very nice and well kept , from the beginning of us choosing a place to the end of the service everyone was very kind and sympathetic. The help we got with the slide show and music, also the staff during the service, they made sure that our last wishes were met. From my family I really thank all the staff, it was a very beautiful service, thank you.

Attention to detail and ownership over administration of funeral.
