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
“Combre Memorial Park, circa 1952 In 1952, Doretha D. Combre acquired ten acres of land on Opelousas St. in Lake Charles, LA and dedicated it as Combre Memorial Park. Mrs. Combre was a committed businesswoman who had previously established Combre Funeral Home in 1940. Building on her comprehensive vision of the funeral industry Mrs. Combre had a desire to acquire enough land that would serve the needs of the Lake Charles community for decades to come. A civil rights leader she was elected President of the Louisiana Chapter of NAACP. She was instrumental in integrating many of the schools in the state most notably McNeese State University in Lake Charles. In honor of her service and vision, Combre Memorial Park continues on our path to creating a cemetery the community can be proud of. A mass grave of 96 unidentified victims of Hurricane Audrey, which struck the Cameron coast in June 1957, is located in the cemetery. Lake Charles Principal Ralph Clifton Reynaud, who is also buried at Combre Cemtery, received a certificate of merit from National Red Cross for service rendered during Hurricane Audrey. Warren Combre, son of Doretha Combre, also assisted in the mass burial.”
