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.

“FANTASTIC customer service ! They go the extra mile to make sure families are taken care of in every way! And they help navigating through such a difficult time like losing a loved one easier. They truly care about people and being there for you! I would be referring them every time. Thank you San Diego Funeral Service for your help and everything you did for us when we said good bye to my dad…”
— Tony Daniel
“I lost my dad a few months ago and I had no idea how or where to go as to arranging his transportation to his birth place in Mexico but thank goodness we found SD funeral services and worked with Gaby who was amazing since day one taking care of all of our needs in such difficult times. Losing a loved one is difficult and having to do all the arrangements at the same time is hard but she made everything easy from consulate arrangements, death certificates and the most important transportation of my father all the way to our chosen funeral home in Mexicali was a breeze with contact the whole way until he was received. I will absolutely keep recommending them to anyone who is lost as I was. Thanks”

“Absolutely NO complaints about this place. GABY is a blessing in disguise, you can tell she loves her job and is always one step ahead. She makes everything so easy on the family and makes you feel at home. We couldn't have done this without her. Service was faster than expected and were able to get my sister to CDMX before the expected time. It only took them 2 weeks, when other places where giving us an 8 week timeframe!”
