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
“From the beginning of the process until the very end, this organization was very personable and thorough with everything. This was my first time planning a memorial and they honesty just made it all very simple with nothing hidden. I truly appreciate you Holly!”
— Angelica Armendariz
“I just received a letter that National Cremation Service Riverside is closing. I've been referred to National Cremation Services in NORTH HOLLYWOOD! It's a shame. When my wife passed the folks in Riverside were respectful and caring. but I won't have my children dealing with some one in Hollywood for my final arrangements. Just thought I'd let others know what's happened. I'm not sure how they might handle a viewing.”
— John Collins
“During the worst time of our lives, they were amazing. They were very clear, open, honest, compassionate, gentle, and transparent. We were treated like family and our loved one was treated with respect and tender care. I will never forget the kindness we received from Holly, and the support she continued to offer through the whole process.”
— Anne Solberg
