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.

“Valley of the Sun Mortuary provided exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism during one of the most difficult times a family can face. From the very beginning, they treated us with dignity, patience, and genuine empathy. I want to give special recognition to Alex Guerrero, who went above and beyond in every possible way. Alex was kind, attentive, and incredibly respectful, taking the time to explain every step clearly and never rushing us. His calm presence and compassion made an overwhelming process feel manageable, and it was clear that he truly cared about honoring our loved one with respect and grace. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and our family felt supported throughout the entire process. I am deeply grateful for the care we received and highly recommend Valley of the Sun Mortuary — especially Alex — to anyone needing services during a difficult time. Thank you for treating our family with such humanity and care.”

“I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Valley of the Sun Mortuary. Several staff members were passive aggressive and outright rude during interactions with our family, which is unacceptable given the sensitive nature of their work and the grief families are experiencing. What was most upsetting was that decorations placed for our loved one were thrown away without notice, despite being in approved vases and fully compliant with their stated guidelines. At no point did anyone attempt to contact us, send an email, or otherwise notify family members before discarding these items. They just had a poster poster outside for two weeks. Unfortunately, I am only able to come once a month and missed it. This lack of communication was both hurtful and disrespectful. Families trust mortuaries to handle not just remains, but memories and tributes with care and compassion. Unfortunately, Valley of the Sun Mortuary failed in this regard. Compassion, professionalism, and basic communication were sorely lacking, and I would strongly caution other families to be aware of this before choosing their services.”

“Death is a very troubling experience. Very delicate time with mixed emotions and high emotions. I felt that our point of contact at this facility was very sympathetic, aware of her customer's needs, and very accommodating without pushing the company's own agenda. I loved that everything was presented on a large screen for us to clearly see and make choices. There is a large variety of choices from plain and simple to completely extravagant, whatever your family's needs would be. When we had questions, she had answers. Overall the process was very simple but complete. We left with no questions unanswered and overall, considering the circumstances, we're so pleased with everything. Thank you.”
