About Surprise Funeral Care
Surprise Funeral Care is part of the Dignity Memorial network, owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral company in North America, and has operated as Surprise's first full-service funeral home since 2011. The home offers a broad range of services including direct cremation, traditional burial, Celebration of Life ceremonies, veterans honors, pre-need planning, grief support, and an extensive selection of memorial keepsakes, with on-site venues that can accommodate services of varying sizes. Pricing sits at the mid-to-upper range for the area, with direct cremation starting at $2,545 and traditional burial averaging around $3,973, though families should note that a required non-declinable fee of $2,380 is added to nearly every arrangement, and weekend or holiday services carry an additional $495 surcharge. The home holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 186 Google reviews, with families consistently praising specific staff members by name for their compassion, patience, and skill coordinating complex out-of-state logistics; no notable complaint patterns were identified, though families who prefer locally independent providers or have tighter budgets may want to weigh those factors before choosing.

a month agoThey took amazing care of my father and me. I live out of state and unfortunately there was no straight plan left from my father. They took the time to really walk me through the process and just made everything including transport back to CA so easy!

2 months agoThis is a very good, professional, caring funeral home. Both my mom and stepdad were taken care of by Surprise Funeral Care. I can't say enough good about them. We dealt with Ned H both times. He was helpful in every way.

4 months agoI write this review for my mother, Marianne Baines and representing our entire family. My father, who was in a rehabilitation facility to gain strength after a serious hospitalization, died rather suddenly. As we often pass Surprise Funeral Care our thought was to call them.
