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
“Choosing Martin and Castille was the best decision I could have ever made for my son. As a parent you never want to let your child go, especially when you have cared for them their entire life. The staff not only cared for my son but cared for our family as if we were their family. They answered every question, met every need and showed so much love and compassion when we needed it most. Our final goodbye was beautiful and suited our Damian so well. The staff helped us display everything including his Special Olympics awards and allowed us to play all of his very favorite songs. I felt like every detail was attended to, some even before I asked. Martin and Castille walked with us from beginning to end and I felt so proud that Damian was honored so beautifully in a manner that suited his personality so well. Other family members before us chose Martin and Castille and had the same excellent service.”

“Martin and Castille Funeral home has been the choice of our family for generations. Their professionalism and attention to detail are perfection. I was also impressed by their showing you all that was available in services and products but never trying to sell you an upgrade of anything that you didn’t really want. I highly recommend their services.”
— Christy Adams
“Martin & Castille were truly amazing. My father was home on hospice and passed at my home. They were there within less than one hour, so professional but also so thoughtful. They gave us time with my father before they took him, and even place the American flag over him since he was a Veteran. They schedule a time which was convenient for us. Met Emily at the funeral home and she assisted in every step of the funeral process. She is a god send. The entire staff from the front desk to the office were so compassionate. Loosing a loved one is tough enough but knowing that this amazing place is there for you and your family very step of the way is a blessing.”
