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.

“Please save yourself the heartache during a time of grief, and don't go to this awful business Fresno Funeral Chapel. Dealing with Mr. Smith and his assistant Maria has been frustrating and has caused me unnecessary stress. They have been rude to me on the phone and failed to follow through with the details at this very trying time. My Mother passed away and I am pregnant with my first child. When you are going through a loss like this, you select a company hoping they will make this process as easy and stress free as possible. Unfortunately this was not the case with Fresno Funeral Chapel. They failed to return phone calls to me or my family, communicating with the doctors office for the death certificate, nor did they follow up with me to get her obituary in the Fresno Bee. I was the one dealing with all of that. To top it off my Mother was very well known in the funeral industry and Mr. Smith knew her personally. I can only imagine how he treats the families that he doesn't know. I believe you only get one shot at doing the right thing when it comes to the final arraignments of a loved one. (Note* could not post without "star rating" I do not give them a star)”
