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
“Amazing Service They were very understanding and kind. They took very good care of my son and everyone was very attending and showed they truly cared. Highly recommend”
— Julian Medina
“Mountain View helped my family and I when no other cemetery or mortuary would. My mom unfortunately passed away in the Philippines despite being a long time SoCal resident. We laid her to rest there as it was her final wish but we still wanted to have a celebration fo her life here in CA for her family and friends. I called around to places like Forrest Lawn and other mortuaries in the area but no one would service us because we didn't actually have my mother's remains anymore so there wasn't an additional fee to gain. Luckily I found Mountain View and they accommodated us without hesitation. Elizabeth, my counselor was wonderful and connected me with a wonderful Reverend (Luft Johnson) as well as all the staff who would be helping me out on the day. Every member of their staff was so sweet and helpful and helped make my mother's celebration of life a very special day. I can't thank them enough.”
— Augie Max Vargas
