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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Recently my brother-in-law passed away. Due to his services being held in Silver City, New Mexico and internment in Orange California there were delays and some confusion. Zac Taylor and his staff were supportive, kind, patient, caring, and respectful. They helped the family navigate the world of funeral, cremation, and securing the proper paperwork for final internment. It seemed as if we were a fixture at Baca’s Funeral Chapel. Through the entire process Zac Taylor and his staff were always helpful. The day of the funeral every element of my brother-in-law’s service was beautiful. Our family will forever be grateful to Baca’s Funeral Chapels.”

“Losing someone that you love is always a very difficult and sad time, but having Baca's Funeral Chapels is a blessing. Since day one, Jacob was always so giving of his time to answer any questions that we had and respond to so many emails that I sent on a daily basis. He was always so patient, compassionate, understanding, and willing to do whatever he could to make things easier on the family. When it came to planning the funeral for my father-in-law, there was very little that we had to do as far as the services. Jacob took care of calling the church and arranging the times for the services, organizing the military honors aspect of the services, and so many other details. Our family would definitely recommend Jacob and the rest of the Baca's staff. Again, they are a blessing to anyone who has to deal with a loss of a loved one. Thank you all and God bless you.”
