The Warrens have been serving the residents of Pinal County since 1953, when Janet Warren's father first took ownership of the Eloy Valley Chapel. After Jerry Warren, a native of Eloy, graduated from Mortuary School, he and Janet took over the operation, beginning a lifetime of service to their community.
As the business grew, the Warrens acquired the Cole & Maud funeral homes in Casa Grande and Coolidge, now known as The Gardens Chapel Cole & Maud on Florence Boulevard and Peart Road, and the Cole & Maud Coolidge Chapel.
Since 2000, the firm has operated Mt. View Cemetery in Casa Grande. In 2009, they built the Mt. View Chapel and Crematorium adjacent to the cemetery. The facility features a state-of-the-art crematory and preparation room, the only one of its kind in Pinal County.
In 2013, The Serenity Gardens Collumbarium was added to the cemetery. This includes a cremation garden, granite pavilion, water feature, and an above-ground mausoleum.
The addition of The Gardens Chapel in 2004 allowed the Warrens to better serve large group events. The chapel, which can accommodate up to 150 people, has become a popular venue for celebrations of life, church services, and weddings.
In 2013, The Memory Gardens reception hall was added next to the chapel. This 1,900-square-foot facility offers expanded seating capacity and catering services, providing even more opportunities for gatherings. With its garden and patio, the facility is available to families and local businesses for a variety of events, including celebrations of life, wedding receptions, christenings, and corporate dinners.
Over the decades, countless changes have taken place, including shifts in customs and technologies. While J. Warren Funeral Services has adapted to these changes, the principles, ethics, and philosophies upon which it was built have remained steadfast.
J. Warren Funeral Services is now a fourth-generation, family-operated business. Currently, Janet and Jerry’s grandchildren have joined the team, helping to improve services and stay on top of industry trends. They are committed to continuing the legacy of service to the community in which they were raised.
With all these amenities, J. Warren Funeral Services continues to provide families in the community with a level of service that exceeds expectations. The company remains dedicated to maintaining its position of trust, ensuring that the renowned service the Warrens established will endure for generations to come.
