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
“Today marks one month since my dad passed away, and I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience with Fresno Memorial Gardens. About a month before my dad left this world, I was planning to purchase an estate plot for my parents, as I could not afford to buy one in my hometown. During that time, I had the privilege of working with Joann Criado. She was truly amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing the estate plot and arranging funeral services — even though the funeral home was not located within the cemetery. I purchased both the estate plot and funeral services through her, and she patiently walked me through every step, answering all of my questions with care and compassion. When my dad passed away, I immediately informed Joann. She quickly coordinated with Lisle Funeral Home and managed to arrange everything within one week. Due to cultural traditions and superstitions regarding the date and time of burial, we had specific requirements that needed to be met — and she made it happen. Her efficiency and dedication during such a difficult time meant more to my family than I can express. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Joann during one of the hardest moments of my life. Planning a funeral is nothing like planning a wedding — it is emotional, overwhelming, and deeply personal. Having someone as compassionate, organized, and understanding as Joann made all the difference. Thank you, Fresno Memorial Gardens, and especially Joann, for your support during this difficult time.”

“I appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help. Both Margie and John Urabe were so helpful! It is not easy making final arrangements, but it's easier when guided by compassionate people. I would recommend Lisle Funeral to anyone. This is the same for Fresno Memorial Gardens. Isaias was willing to go out of his way, on a rainy day, to help us make our final decisions, and gave us all options. My husband can rest assured that everything is in order. Thank you”

“Victoria at Fresno Memorial was very helpful. We visited on a Saturday then did the rest via zoom since we live in San Diego. It worked out well. She made various suggestions and helped us to work within our budget. We are at peace with the final decisions that we made and are glad that it is completed.”
