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
“The ground is so beautiful and the location couldn’t be more fitting for our soldiers, it’s a great place to reflect at our history and the sacrifices so many have given. The cemetery overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge, Cristy Field and the bay below. I came here by walking, wonder if parking would be an issue on weekends?”
— Jesse Lee
“On Memorial Day - The San Francisco National Cemetery was dressed by the Boy & Girl Scouts with the American Flag for all to see over the next few days! Please take time to enjoy the photos. A Special Thanks to those who decorated the area in Memory of lost & loved ones!”

“A humbling place to come and reflect, or just to get a sense of history and understanding of the impact of war, and its outcomes. The fallen here have a beautiful resting place, with a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Thought provoking and beautifully managed.”
