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 was extremely happy with the care and support I received from Karina at Glendale Funeral Home for my mom’s final services. The moment I walked in, Karina made me feel assured that things would be taken care of! My mom’s last name had multiple different spellings, Karina had the foresight to anticipate issues I wasn’t even aware of, and helped address them before they were any issue. Her work cleared all concerns with Insurance, Social Security, as well as bank and safety deposit box access. Her help was invaluable! Not to mention how Karina also went out of her way to make my mom’s final viewing experience really special! You honestly feel cared for, and trust your loved ones are in good hands with Karina! Karina replied to all of my and my family’s questions very professionally and politely. Even when we texted her at late night hours (11pm), or even on her sick day or off days, she was still very responsive and always on top of our case! The last thing you want in these difficult moments are more hurtles, and Karina made this process go as smooth and as comfortable as it could have. I highly recommend her services!”

“At the before Cremation Julia and Liz made it very special with flowers and cupcakes for my mother it was actually done on her would have been 75th birthday 2/10/2023 They even played some music as we said our good byes!! I really felt like they were apart of the family and that they really wanted our experience to be great and it was. My mother would have been pleased.”
— Marquita Williams
“I understand so many people may be wondering What could somebody possibly say as a review for a funeral home. Honestly, I had nothing but the most incredible experience in service from the team that made sure my mom‘s viewing went as incredible as ever. I started off with Karina who from the start always gave nothing but pure professionalism and true quality care for another human being. And then on the day I was able to meet Noemi and Junior who made every single detail possible and as easy as can be. My family is truly grateful for these three and I couldn’t possibly recommend this place any higher than I already am and continually will do. Thank you guys for being such angels!”
