Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“From the very first moment we walked through their doors, the staff at Tempe Mortuary treated my family with compassion, dignity, and genuine care during one of the hardest times of our lives. Losing my father was incredibly painful, but they guided us through every step with patience, kindness, and professionalism. They took the time to listen to our wishes, answered every question with honesty and clarity, and never once made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. Every detail of my dad’s service was handled beautifully and respectfully, allowing our family to focus on grieving and honoring his life instead of worrying about logistics. What stood out most was how personal their care felt. We were not treated like just another service, we were treated like a family who mattered. Their attention to detail, empathy, and calm presence brought us comfort when we needed it most. I am deeply grateful to the entire team for honoring my father and supporting my family with such grace. If you are looking for a mortuary that truly cares and treats your loved one with respect and dignity, I cannot recommend Tempe Mortuary enough. Thank you for everything you did for my dad and for our family.”

“This funeral home has taken amazing care of two of my relatives. As someone in the death care industry, I am a bit picky, but Tempe Mortuary has really exceeded my expectations. It's wonderful to know that even though I am out of state, someone is looking after my loved ones so carefully. I highly recommend them for pre-need and at need. They are gracious, and they do a lovely job.”
— Melissa Barker
“Tempe Mortuary handled services for both of my parents. I couldn't have asked for kinder, more sensitive and professional assistance at this heartbreaking time. Nesi handled my father's services and she was caring and guided us through a myriad of issues. I highly recommend Tempe Mortuary when you need a team to manage all the detail you are not in the position to recall.”
