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 highly recommend this center. During a difficult time from my brothers sudden passing, the staff at CCC were caring, friendly and patient with all my request. The person there named Logan was helpful handling my situation. They provided prompt service and fair straight forward pricing. If you are going through this stressful time, I recommend CCC, since they made my experience better than I was expecting.”

“One star means the service here is garbage. We paid for all the services and never received our loved one's death certificate even after having inquired several times. We spoke to the Administrative Assistant Eloisa Cabrera multiple times and each time she apologized and assured us that she would handle the situation personally and would keep us posted. We NEVER received one phone call from here despite her multiple promises. Even after expressing the importance because of financial matters that needed to be dressed and could only be addressed with the death certificate. They were quick enough to take our money though. I eventually contacted the records department through the county myself to make the arrangements for me to pick it up and I found out that it had been ready for some time. The clerk told me she doubted that the CCC ever even applied for it. Avoid this place at all costs. I wouldn't be caught dead here!”

“Geanna was so kind and patient when we called about having my mother cremated. She made the process easy so we did not have to worry while we were grieving. She was quick to answer my questions even when I asked more than once! She updated us at each step of the process. She istaking care of all of the paperwork for death certificate etc. I highly recommend California Cremation Center for your unexpected cremation needs. Geanna will take great care of you!”
