Why Family-Owned Matters To Us
Family-Owned And Operated
At Bunker Family Funerals & Cremation,we take great pride in being locally owned and operated. Many funeral homes still.appear to be family-run on the surface , but are now owned by publicly traded corporations or national private equity groups. While we respect the legacy of the families who once ran these funeral homes,we believe it’s essential for our community to understand that many of these providers are no longer owned by the local families who originally built them.
Funeral service is deeply personal. It’s not something that should be managed from offices in New York, Texas, or Florida. That’s why we remain fully local and independent.
Rooted In The East Valley
Our accountability has never left the East Valley. Unlike organizations that report to out-of-town executives, our commitment has always been, and always will be, to the families right here in our community. Your trust and satisfaction guide our success, not the return on investment of a distant shareholder.
The Freedom to Care
Because we are locally owned, our compassionate staff has the freedom to make the right decisions for the families we serve. Pricing, policies, and availability are all determined by our team, without layers of corporate red tape. That flexibility means we can make accommodations when your family needs it most.
Compassion that Lasts
For us, care extends far beyond a single service. Each family we meed becomes an ongoing relationship rooted in compassion and trust. You are never treated as a transaction or a number. You are a part of our community, and we are here for you as friends and guides whenever you need us.
Knowing Who You Choose
Because many national corporations continue to operate under former family names, it’s important to know who truly stands behind them. Below is a list of funeral homes in the East Valley that are now owned by publicly traded or nationally operated organizations:

We built our organization on a foundation of exceptional service and family satisfaction. We remain locally owned and fully committed to providing your family with the highest level of personal service and care in your time of need.
