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.

“I have dealt with San Fernando Mission Cemetery and Mortuary many times. It would be a mistake to approach this cemetery thinking that it is a competitive business. It is an extension of the Archdiocese and is managed in the same fashion. Which means, in person, is always better than over the phone. Also, it's best to do some homework/research before you or your loved one dies. Learn about pricing and options in advance. That really helps. You can also prepay for your funeral to save your loved ones from the burden. They use Batesville caskets. You can visit the Batesville website to do some casket research.”

“Thank you to everyone at Mission Hills Catholic Mortuary, from start to finish the process was incredible. The entire team was very accommodating and went above and beyond to give our loved one a beautiful goodbye. I’d like to give a giant thank you to Brian our director for allowing us the space to grieve while also providing the support and comfort many of us needed during this hard time. Thank you Anthony for helping us decide which service options would be best suited to our families needs without the feeling of pressure and the stress of making such a large decision.”

“Father was very welcoming from the beginning. The readings and the readers did well. Music was easy to follow. Father did a beautiful homily in sharing his experience of Ardella. She was a wonderful mom, grandmother and great grandmother. She lived and loved her life. I will miss Ardella. May God be welcoming of her into heaven.”
