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 3 year old daughter and My 6 year old son attending their first Christmas performance at Calvary Chapel. Great school and staff.”
— VILLANUEVA
“I love this church! I've been attending for roughly a month now and every Sunday I leave more motivated to love others. I look forward to plugging into a small group and getting to know the members on a more personal level. If you are looking for a church centered on loving others, and could use some exhortation..this is the place to start.”
— Daniel Rost
“Solid and mature church with uncertain future. This was the HQ of the Calvary churches until the organization sadly split into 2 (Calvary Chapel Association and Calvary Chapel Global Network) over some differences. I couldn't find much details to the reasons. I just visited once because Pastor Brian Brodersen does excellent teaching through Back To Basics podcast. He is a truly gifted teacher like Chuck Swindoll. Following the split, the church is now only half full and seems many have deserted CCGN because only Brian's son, Char, helps out on teaching. I don't know what caused the split but I wish both sides would reconcile and find a common ground. Splitting of churches is giving into Satan's primary agenda. "I think" this location needs a spiritual revival among the congregation and a renewed focus and directions communicated by their leadership. I hope they will survive the messy breakup and get back to basics of being the Salt and Light of the community. I would like to ask all Christians to pray for reconciliation, healing and revival of all churches, including Calvary churches.”
