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.

“I cannot express enough how thankful I am that my brother and I were given the recommendation to use Thomae-Garza Funeral Home for the funeral of my beloved father, Israel San Pedro. When I say they went above and beyond I am not in the least bit exaggerating. They literally were so compassionate, so kind, so soft, and so caring in a time that was extremely difficult for my brother and I. Every step of the way was guided by Mr. Albert Vega and Mr. Ralph Torres with the kindest hearts. When you lose a loved one you need people who truly care and put their heart into your family and give you that support that you need, this funeral home does exactly that. If you’re considering choosing this company for a funeral for your loved one, please do it. You’ll feel completely taken care of. Lastly, I want to thank Gaby Sierra for her patience and kindness as well. Thank you so much Thomae-Garza Funeral Home, I will forever be grateful!”

“I can’t thank Albert enough for the care and compassion he showed throughout the entire process. This was my first time planning a funeral, and my mind and emotions were all over the place, but Albert was incredibly patient and reassuring every step of the way. He explained everything clearly, made sure I understood each part of the process, and handled everything with professionalism and kindness. Most importantly, he took great care of my dad, and that means the world to me. Albert truly made a very difficult time a little easier, and I’ll always be grateful for that.”
