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.
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
“Let me just start by saying that everyone working here is amazing. In December 2024 my father passed away, everything was very well taken care of, Cesar gives you a peace of mind in that time of need. Cesar also mentioned to us that they were opening their cemetery right on their property. For that reason we chose to burry my dad at the Foothills cemetery to then have him moved to Somerton. Today, Feb.5th 2026 we finally moved my dad. The stress I felt before even making the appointment to make this arrangement was imaginable, but the moment I talked to Cesar I felt like I did back in 2024, a peace of mind and less stress. Today I woke up feeling nauseous and nervous about the move, I felt more stressed than the day we originally buried my dad. But once I saw my dad arrive to the cemetery and Cesar there I felt that peace. Cesar is very understanding and in some way makes you feel calm. Everything went well, thanks to everyone at Desert Valley Mortuary, especially to Cesar. First time I leave a review for anything, but everyone in the team truly made every process of this much easier.”
