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.

“My son Lee died suddenly and I didn’t know who to call as I’m in another state. I found Bay Area Cremations on line. They returned my call almost immediately and “took me by the hand” guiding me through the process. Julie has been so helpful and caring as have all the staff. They made this difficult time as painless as possible. I thank them all for their kindness to me and my family. Adele Bass”
