Johnson Mortuary and Desert Lawn Memorial Park

Johnson Mortuary and Desert Lawn Memorial Park, located at 1415 South First Avenue in Yuma, Arizona, has served the local community with compassionate care for over a century. Founded in 1907 by O. C. Johnson as a funeral home, the establishment expanded in 1937 with the creation of Desert Lawn Memorial Park. In 1987, the mortuary relocated to the cemetery grounds, enabling families to handle all funeral, cremation, and burial needs at a single convenient location. Today, it remains a trusted pillar of the Yuma community, including areas such as Barkley Ranch, Foothills, Mesa del Sol, Somerton County, and Yuma County. As a proud member of the Dignity Memorial network, Johnson Mortuary and Desert Lawn Memorial Park offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor the lives of loved ones while providing comfort and support to grieving families. These services include traditional funerals, personalized memorial services, cremation options, and cemetery services such as in-ground burials and cremation memorialization. The funeral home specializes in cremation services, offering transparent pricing and a variety of choices: cremation without a service, a funeral followed by cremation, or cremation followed by scattering, memorialization, or a celebration of life. For those seeking unique tributes, partnerships with Neptune Memorial Reef and Celestis Memorial Spaceflight provide extraordinary options. The staff includes professional, compassionate, and bilingual funeral directors who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring families receive immediate assistance when needed. The on-site mortuary chapel features a beautiful stained-glass window, creating a serene atmosphere for services. The facility is wheelchair accessible and offers free on-site parking. Prepayment plans and low-interest options are available for those who wish to plan ahead and protect their loved ones, including up to 10% off cemetery property and funeral plans. Dignity Memorial's 100% Service Guarantee provides peace of mind, promising that any detail not meeting expectations will be addressed, up to a full refund for that portion of the service.
