🌿🐾 Visiting Guadalupe Cemetery – Quiet History in Tempe, Arizona

Simba the Adventure Pup 🐾 and I visited Guadalupe Cemetery in Tempe, Arizona — a small but deeply meaningful burial ground tied closely to the history, culture, and identity of the town of Guadalupe. Tucked within an urban setting, this cemetery feels like a calm pause in time, reflecting generations of Yaqui, Mexican, and local families whose stories are written in stone, symbols, and tradition.

Walking through the grounds is a reflective experience. Weathered headstones sit alongside modern memorials, crosses share space with personal tributes, and the quiet atmosphere invites you to slow down and observe. This is not a grand or famous cemetery — but that’s exactly what makes it powerful. It tells its story softly.
