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
“Colma Cremation and Funeral Services handled my mom’s after-death care with genuine compassion and respect. We chose an all-natural approach with no embalming, and they honored that beautifully, preserving her natural beauty in a way that truly felt like she was being cared for by family. Everyone there was kind, gentle, and deeply supportive through every step. They also helped us find the perfect priest—someone who truly reflected my mom’s spirit and personality. It was everything we hoped for and more.”
— Mike LaSpina
“Chose Colma. Living outside the area, I wasn't sure what funeral home to choose for my brother's direct cremation. I am so glad I chose Colma Cremation and Funeral Services. The prices were reasonable, and the service from Hiroko and Reuben was extraordinary. Hiroko's kind messages were so lovely and reassuring during a difficult time. I appreciated the always daily messages to keep me updated. Choose Colma, you will be so pleased you did. All arrangements for my veteran brother were handled professionally and appropriately. Thank you Hiroko and Reuben!”

“Colma was amazing. We were looking for a direct cremation, and I have say it was an odd experience until we chose them. I found one that was slightly less expensive, one that was the same price and a bunch up to double the price. Calling around was stressful. They all seemed to use industry lingo that I don't have the first clue about, there were all these extra charges for miles and days of storage and such, and a lot of them talked badly about their competitors. It wasn't that way with Colma though. What made me choose Colma, was Stephanie. She wasn't pushy at all, she was very upfront and so kind. We had to talk a few times during the process and she was always helpful. It made a really difficult situation so much easier. Thank you guys!”
