What's the cheapest price you've found in Arizona?
Accu-Care Cremation & Funerals in Phoenix, AZ lists direct cremation at $895, on a price list effective February 2, 2023. This is simply the lowest figure in our data, not a recommendation — we have never spoken to this funeral home.
Is Arizona more or less expensive than the national average?
Across our full dataset of 35 price lists nationwide, direct cremation has a median of $1,920 and a traditional funeral with burial has a median of $5,616. In Arizona, those medians are $1,095 and $5,241. For a broader benchmark, the National Funeral Directors Association's most recent survey puts the median cost of a funeral with cremation at $6,280 and with viewing and burial at $8,300 (2023 NFDA General Price List Study) — a different bundle of items than our itemized figures, so they won't match exactly.
Do funeral homes in Arizona have to give me a written price list?
Yes. The FTC Funeral Rule requires every funeral home in the United States, including Arizona, to give you an itemized General Price List and to quote prices over the phone. It's illegal for them to refuse, and you don't have to give a deposit or make any arrangement first. The price lists behind this page are exactly those documents.
