About Valley of the Sun Mortuary & Cemetery

Valley of the Sun Mortuary & Cemetery is owned and operated by Service Corporation International (SCI) under the Dignity Memorial brand, making it part of the largest corporate funeral chain in North America rather than an independent or family-owned business, which means pricing and service standards are set at the network level with limited flexibility for individual negotiation. The facility offers a broad menu of cremation, burial, memorial, and celebration of life services on a combined mortuary-and-cemetery campus, which can simplify logistics for families who want funeral and burial arrangements handled in one place, along with veterans services, pre-planning, and an extensive keepsakes catalog. Pricing sits in the mid-to-upper range for the Chandler market, with direct cremation starting at $2,795 and traditional burial averaging $4,573 before casket and cemetery property costs, but families should note that a non-declinable $3,535 basic services fee applies to every arrangement and will substantially raise the total cost compared to many independent competitors. The facility holds a 4.6 out of 5 rating across 298 Google reviews, with families frequently praising compassionate, attentive staff and smooth event execution, though at least one detailed complaint about years of unresolved cemetery grounds maintenance and a separate account of staff rudeness during arrangements are worth asking about directly before committing.
