How much does a funeral cost in Phoenix, AZ?

What Phoenix funeral homes actually charge

Everything below this section is modelled from national survey data. This section is not. These are 45 funeral homes trading across 3 towns in the Phoenix area with a direct cremation price we hold. The middle one charges $1,590. Family Burial and Cremation Center in Mesa is recorded at $610, Hansen Mortuary in Phoenix at $3,340, which is 5.5 times the price for the same service inside one metropolitan area.

Of the 45, 15 come in under $1,000, 16 sit between $1,000 and $1,999, 8 between $2,000 and $2,999, and 6 ask $3,000 or more. 39 of them publishes a basic services fee as well, the charge you cannot decline whatever else you turn down. Ring three at random rather than one and you would expect to pay $640 less than the $1,736 average.

Recorded from Funeral Consumers Alliance survey in September 2026. The source publishes no date of its own. Prices for other homes on this list carry their own dates, shown on each home's page. They are the figures we hold rather than quotes, several are years old, and no funeral home is bound by them. Where a row says Their prices, the only figure we hold comes from a directory we could not check against the home's own list, so the link goes to the home instead.

The calculator is set to Phoenix. The funeral home lines are scaled by what Phoenix homes charge against the Arizona median, a factor of 0.92, and the plot by local land prices.

What makes up the $13,510 in Phoenix

Basic services fees published by Phoenix homes, set against those across Arizona, give the funeral home lines a factor of 0.92, that ratio pulled toward the state by how many homes stand behind it. The plot is the exception, scaled by land prices, Phoenix at 121.2 against 106.8 for Arizona (2024 BEA parities). The full working is on the Arizona page.

Funeral homes in the Phoenix area

The Census counts 107 death care establishments in the Phoenix metro, meaning funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries, employing about 1,024 people (2023 County Business Patterns). We hold a direct cremation price for 45 of them, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest is $2,730. That is 5.5 times the price for the same service, inside one metropolitan area, which is a larger difference than the one between Phoenix and Arizona as a whole.

Cremation in Phoenix

Cremation with a service models out at $4,640 here, about $1,860 less than a burial at the funeral home because there is no casket, plot, vault or headstone to buy. Strip the service out and the Phoenix homes themselves put the middle direct cremation at $1,590, 45 of them measured, 15 of those under $1,000, which puts roughly $3,050 on the ceremony, the viewing and the staff time around it. For a family choosing on price alone that gap is the whole decision, and it is a bigger number than anything the metro comparison above turns on.

Your rights when you ring a Phoenix funeral home

All 45 of the homes listed above owe you the same thing on the telephone, without being told who you are. Family Burial and Cremation Center at $610 and Hansen Mortuary at $3,340 are the two ends of it. Working down from the $1,590 in the middle of that list is worth $980 before anyone has driven anywhere. What the law requires of Arizona funeral homes sets out the rest.
