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
“My comment is not to incriminate anyone, it's simply for the people after me, to have a better customer service. My husband died March 9, 2025, the final agreement for the tombstone was signed on May 12, 2025, 2 months after his death. Sally is a person who smiles, who takes the time to receive you, who says kind words of condolence, but as for the efficiency of the work, I expected more professionalism. I waited 2 weeks to get the price of the photo. My request was not properly passed on to the person doing the design, which resulted in several returned emails and visits. example; When I said the back of the photo is too black, I'd like it a little lighter, after ten days without news, I phone to hear that we were expecting the return of the tombstone in 3 months, while the final agreement has not been signed. Finally, the back of the photo came back white, although I never said white. When I went to your office to sign, Sally should have known that without the details at the bottom of the blackstone, my signature was not valid. Now the job is done. Thank you”

“The staff at Desert Lawn Memorial Park are wonderful. They are knowledgeable and compassionate. We worked with Kovia Lown and she assisted us with arrangements for my parents . We live out of state and Kovia was helpful and understanding. She responded in a timely manner to my many emails and phone calls. Kovia exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend Kovia and Desert Lawn Memorial Park.”
