The Louis B. Hazelton Memorial Cemetery was established in 1938. Ever since the Louis B. Hazelton Memorial Cemetery has been a place to respect your loved ones close to home.
We are reaching capacity in the original sections of the cemetery. Plots located in sections A, B, C and D are no longer available for purchase by the general public. We continue to offer burials plots in sections E, F, G and H for purchase. We are available Monday through Thursday to assist with your burial plot purchase. For further information, please contact the cemetery administration at 623-349-6170.
The Community Services Department proudly operates and maintains the historic Louis B. Hazelton Memorial Cemetery. Originally established in 1938 by the American Legion Hazelton-Butler Post 53, it is named in the honor of the first young man from Buckeye who lost his life in World War I. In 1947, the legion transferred the cemetery to what was then the town of Buckeye, where it remains today.
The city of Buckeye seeks to provide quality, compassionate and affordable burial services to its residents. To ensure we can offer this cemetery as an option for a final resting place, we enforce the city residency requirement for burials. To purchase a plot at the Louis B. Hazelton Memorial Cemetery, you must either be a resident of the city of Buckeye; or have immediate family members buried at our cemetery. Proof of residency will be requested.
You can now search for individuals buried at the cemetery.

Flood Irrigation
The Louis B. Hazelton Memorial Cemetery utilizes flood irrigation. The irrigation water is received from the Roosevelt Irrigation District. It is cemetery staff’s intent to irrigate on a monthly basis. It is our hope to notify residents and cemetery visitors of irrigation dates, however, it is difficult to set a schedule for the irrigation for many reasons. The following variables may affect delivery dates and times:
- The delivery schedule of the canal company and its ability to provide water in the canal system
- System capacity (pressure and low capability of pipes)
- Equipment or system tampering
- Main breaks that force the system to be shut down for repair
During flood irrigation, loose or even appropriately placed items may become dislodged and displaced. The city is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged items.
The cemetery staff will make every effort to notify customers of pending irrigation. Please call 623-349-6170 with any questions or concerns.
