Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Odessa funeral home did a professional job on my mother’s funeral. She had a pre need agreement and it made the funeral process a lot less stressful. So I decided to get my own pre need arrangement through them also”
— David Drennan
“I was terrified to go into a funeral home to plan my Father in law’s funeral. As soon as I walked into Odessa Funeral Home I was greeted with a very friendly staff & I felt very comfortable. They made me feel at ease. Once my Father in law passed away. They were very professional & respectful of our wishes. I would like to thank Ms. Charlene, Ms. Rebecca, Ms. Hailey & Ms. Judy. I couldn’t have done this without their help, compassion & understanding.”
— Sarah Alvarado
“Our beloved mother passed away June 3rd, 2025. When we first walked in I wasn’t ok physically & mentally I wasn’t ready to start making the arrangements but Leila & her staff reassured us that everything would be done respectfully & that no matter what they would be there for us. I’m pretty sure I called them multiple times & every single time they were there. They represented my mom beautifully & even now they call & check in. Thank you to everyone at Odessa Funeral Home for everything. God Bless!”
