The Full Story
About
Starlight Memorial Park is home to the historic Casa Chavez, Starlight Gardens, and Constellation Charities. This is a place where legacies are preserved and history is celebrated. Located in the heart of Tempe, Arizona, our beautifully curated gardens provide a place for gathering with community.
Mission
Our goal at Starlight Memorial Park is to preserve local legacies through restoration of this incredible historic space while also creating a community gathering space. We seek to celebrate life and honor history by also offering better deathcare and final placement options for Tempe and the surrounding areas.
Personallized Pre-Planning
Our dedicated team can help with your legacy plan whether you are looking for cremation memorialization, opting for in-ground burial, or considering an alternate final placement option. End-of-life planning is more than just funeral planning and we provide a community resource center to help individuals make informed decisions about their final plans or wishes.
Final Placement
We offer final placement for cremated remains in our curated gardens. Using Homecoming’s unique columbarium design, we are able to provide a more environmentally-friendly deathcare alternative in a beautiful community space that celebrates life while honoring death.
Gathering Space
Our beautiful historic space is a place for gathering. Whether looking to host a funeral, a wedding, or a workshop, our stunning grounds and historic buildings can provide a gathering place for your next event.
Living History + Archive
At Starlight Gardens, we offer a variety of ways to build lasting legacies for both the living and those departed. Whether you want to record a message for loved ones or an interview for archive, individual histories are just as important as our shared history.
Community Events
Starlight Gardens provides a gathering space for public events as well as private celebrations. Farmers markets, holiday celebrations, classes and workshops, trivia nights, stargazing nights, arts and cultural events, and a lot more.
