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
“My mother-in-law passed away in California this week and because of the pandemic and health risks, we were not able to travel to the funeral. While the funeral and shiva will be mostly virtual, we really wanted to light a 7-day memorial candle, but couldn't find one anywhere that would arrive in time. I called Matthew asking if I could purchase one, and he gave us the candle and wouldn't let us pay for it. We were deeply touched by such a kind and caring gesture.”
— Mark
“Extremely professional and available for consult anytime during the process. At such a difficult time, Matthew was most understanding and caring. No sales pitches or incessant phone calls unless the family reached out. Truly a first class establishment.”
— Pam Harrington
“EXCELLENT SERVICES NOT ONLY IN THAT CONTEXT BUT IN OTHERS AND IN THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AMERICA.!!!!!!!!FAMILY QUALITY.”
— Leyla de Benítez
