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 cannot thank Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary enough for the care and professionalism they showed our family during such a heartbreaking time. My father passed away this past December, and the weight of planning his celebration of life felt overwhelming until we met Tatiana. Tatiana helped us through the entire process with such genuine kindness and grace. She listened to our needs, ensured everything ran smoothly, and treated my father’s memory with the utmost respect. Planning a service during the holidays is never easy, but Tatiana’s support allowed us to focus on honoring my father rather than stressing over the logistics. If you find yourself in need of these services, I highly recommend this mortuary and specifically working with Tatiana. She made a world of difference for us.”

“Losing a parent, especially during the holidays is an incredibly stressful and emotional experience. I am deeply thankful to Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary for making the planning process feel manageable and for lightening my load during such a difficult time. Before my consultation, I felt completely overwhelmed. After my first meeting, however, I felt like I finally had a roadmap for navigating what seemed like an incredibly daunting task. When I left my meeting with Tatiana, a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Tatiana walked me through every step with patience, compassion, and kindness. She handled so many important details, which freed me up to focus on supporting my mom and coordinating needs for the rest of our family. She contacted the military, located an officiant, provided catering options, and even helped me bring my vision for the memorial display to life on the day of the service. We were in constant communication leading up to the event, which significantly reduced my stress. From the very first meeting, I felt we were in good hands. Tatiana is warm, personable, and truly cares about creating a customized experience that reflects each family’s needs and expectations. We chose to host a reception following the memorial at the Meridon Room, which is a little house on the property. That was incredibly convenient, especially for the elderly members of our family. Being able to simply walk across the parking lot instead of coordinating transportation to a second location made a huge difference. It also allowed us to spend more quality time with family members who had traveled from out of town. Overall, the experience met and exceeded our expectations. Planning a parent’s memorial service is never easy, but having knowledgeable, compassionate support and access to all the right resources made it possible to create the meaningful send-off we envisioned for our father. I would absolutely recommend Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary, and I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.”

“I was having the most difficult time of my life when my husband suddenly passed away, leaving 2 little kids and myself. Through it all, I tried to held myself together to give him a funeral service that he deserves. I will never forget the kindness from Margarita and everyone in Lima Family. Everything went very smoothly from the moment I inquired up to my husband’s interment. I do not hope to have another funeral soon, but I’m grateful to have your service and will definitely recommend you! Thank you for all you do!”
