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
“I wanted to explore an old haunted style cemetery in New Orleans but because all the other ones cost money I decided to come here. The cemetery is open to the public and is free. You can see the spooky old and gritty vibe to it. Some of the graves are huge. This cemetery is certainly off the beaten path but it was definitely worth it especially because it’s free.”
— Drew Rowley 973
“The Saint Vincent de Paul Cemetery on Louisa Street is not to be confused with the Uptown cemetery of the same name. This was originally a privately owned cemetery, owned be Jose Pepe Llalla. The cemetery is somewhat unique in its mix of nationalities and religions. The cemetery is open every day and divided into three sections, in the same area.”
— Louis and Elaine
“Everyone was very compassionate and answered all of our wishes. Graveside experience was professional and on time. After one minor adjustment, everything went perfectly. Thank you for assisting our family during a extremely difficult time.”
— Robbie Milliet
