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
“If you’re a bride searching for a Catholic wedding venue in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle is one of the most timeless and meaningful ceremony locations in Tampa Bay. Having photographed a wedding here before, I can confidently say this cathedral offers a stunning blend of sacred tradition and elegant architecture. The grand crucifix, beautiful altar, and classic church details create a powerful and reverent atmosphere that feels both intimate and majestic. The long center aisle makes for a breathtaking processional, and the natural light paired with the warm interior tones photographs beautifully. For couples planning a full Catholic Mass, the ceremony here is deeply intentional and spiritually rich. The parish staff is organized and supportive, helping the day flow smoothly while honoring the sacred nature of the sacrament. If you’re envisioning a wedding that is heartfelt, traditional, and timeless, the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle is a beautiful place to begin your forever.”

“I recently had the honor of attending my goddaughter’s baptism at the Cathedral of St. Jude, and Father Tonino made the whole experience truly unforgettable. His warmth, kindness, and joyful spirit made the ceremony feel so special and personal. He brought so much love and even a little fun to the moment, and we all felt very grateful to be part of such a beautiful service. Thank you, Father Tonino, for making that day so meaningful for our family. Highly recommended. 💛”
— Karina Schweitzer
“It’s difficult to make a cathedral an intimate experience of the divine, but these folks try the hardest. I go to daily Mass and this would much be better if we did it in the chapel than in the nave. That said Christ is still there so go every day.”
— John Sweeney
