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
“The Marin family wishes to thank Samantha for the labor of love and professionalism she put into creating a beautiful program and service for a wonderful man who, in life, was a husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. Everything was absolutely beautiful and will be cherished for life. We also thank Duane, Ducky, and Robert for their exceptional services during the memorial and funeral service. Their professionalism and attention to detail in ensuring that family and friends were well received and taken care of meant a great deal to us. You all welcomed and directed each guest with kindness, compassion, and gentleness, making us feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you for all the hugs and kind words you shared with us. You will always remain in our thoughts and prayers. We would also like to thank Jessie for his guidance and support as we navigated the sensitive, emotional, and challenging process. We felt free to call him with questions. We thank him for coming to our home while Mr. Marin was still alive and, with compassion and dignity, presenting this company and its services. Mr. Marin selected his casket and what a beautiful casket it was. Thank you all so much!”
