Arizona’s Top Rated Local® Funeral Homes and Services Award Winner: Richardson Funeral Home

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Richardson Funeral Home is a 2018 award winner for funeral homes and services in Arizona!

For anyone looking for a respectful, compassionate funeral home in Tempe, there’s no better option than Richardson Funeral Home.

Richardson Funeral Home has earned dozens of online reviews with an average rating of 4.80 stars, an impressive Rating Score™ of 96.00 and a 2018 Top Rated Local award for being ranked among the top 10 funeral homes in all of Arizona!

Here’s just one of the many five-star rewards they’ve received from their clients:

“Troy at Richardson Funeral Home is extremely professional and very compassionate. He was available no matter when I called and even gave me his personal cell phone number. He is extremely responsive via email as well. I can’t thank him enough for his help during the most difficult week of my family’s life. We are so grateful.” – C.R.

Not Your Average Funeral Home

Unlike most funeral homes, which are corporate-owned, Richardson Funeral Home is a family-owned funeral home that provides individualized funeral services to meet the needs of each family they serve.

Another thing that sets Richardson Funeral Home apart is their many years of experience. The staff has almost 100 years of experience in the funeral business, giving them the expertise to support the families they work with through and through.

We asked Troy Richardson, the owner of Richardson Funeral Home, why they do what they do. Here’s what he had to say:

“We deal with families at the absolute worst moments in their lives, when they’ve lost a loved one. We’re here to try to make things as easy as possible for them, and provide guidance as needed so that their funeral experience is something to be remembered and not to be looked down upon.”

Building Success Through Quality Service

Troy credits Richardson Funeral Home’s strong online reputation to the quality service they provide for their clients. They also try to encourage each family to leave a review on their website or on a review platform, like Google, Yelp or the Better Business Bureau.

Apart from their powerful online reputation, Richardson Funeral Home has gotten their name out there by being involved in their community. Troy belongs to both the Kiwanis Club of Tempe and Rotary International, and the office manager belongs to the local Lions Club. Richardson Funeral Home also belongs to state and national funeral directors associations — the National Funeral Directors Association and the Arizona State Funeral Directors Association.

However, according to Troy, their biggest source of growth has been word of mouth. They also get a lot of clients who have found them online; they have a great website with lots of valuable information on it.

We asked Troy what advice he has for other business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here are his words of wisdom:

“Provide good quality service, and your reputation will take care of itself.”


Congratulations to the team at Richardson Funeral Home for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Troy, for taking the time to speak with us!
