Hudgel Swan is a wonderful family business. We have needed their service going back 15 years to present. Brian takes great care and compassion during this difficult time. We are so pleased with all the help they have given us for our loved ones. For this we give them a 5 star rating.

We have used the services of Hudgel Swan for over 15 years and I can't express my upmost gratitude for all the loving help and support of Brian Hudgel. He is very patient & compassionate during a hard and difficult time when your mind is not clear. After his help we always felt that we made the right decisions for our loved ones.
Hudgel Swan is a great family owned & operated business.

My experience with the gentlemen of Hudgel's was filled with ease, kindness and genuine engagement. I appreciate that the business is family owned and run. It is clear that they have been devoted to this line of work for a lifetime. If you want your loved one treated with respect I highly recommend their services. You will feel that they have your best interests at heart. I am so grateful that I chose them to assist with my mother's passing and cremation.

My boyfriends son passed away in a tragic incident and we found out while on our way to AZ from CA. His family and us were in shock and did not even know where to begin for any arrangements since we are having the service in CA. Neither of us have had to plan arrangements for a loved one before and are extremely thankful to our friends for finding Hudgels Swan Funeral Home. Brian, the owner and director was of great help and my boyfriend felt better after leaving our appointment than he did walking in, which was not what we anticipated to say the least. Brian complimented him on his composure

Brian Hudgel was incredibly helpful and understanding, when we requested his help in obtaining information about the passing of a distant family member, several years ago. This information was very helpful to our family, and we deeply appreciate Brian's willingness to work with us. I am very grateful that the Hudgel's Swan Funeral Home was selected to handle the final affairs for our distant relative. For those who wish to have these sensitive services provided with a deeply personal, as well as professional manner, I highly recommend Hudgel's Swan Funeral Home.

I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. They were fantastic and handled everything with care. I selected Hudgels Swan Funeral Home because they were one of the only family-owned funeral homes left in Tucson. The difference in quality and care given was noticeable as they handled everything with every detail perfectly. Prices are very reasonable and cremation services were quick. The only hold up we had was with Pima County and that wasnt the funeral homes fault. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a funeral home. I know if I find a need for funeral services
