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
“Highly recommend this funeral home. Joe is an excellent person with great customer service skills. He shows compassion towards the family during the difficult time of losing a loved one. After losing my mom we had the task of getting funeral arrangements in order and our mind was so far from it. As soon as we stepped into Union Funeral Home we knew we had found the right place. My mother's funeral was beautiful and my family and I would love to thank Joe for everything. You are a true gem and always available if any questions arise. If you're looking for a place for funeral arrangements definitely seek out Joe. Thank you once again from the Martinez Family.”

“When the matriarch of our family was called home, we were so happy to have chosen Union Funeral Home for her services. Joe and his team provided attention to detail and efforts of service that were heartfelt and truly appreciated. From the very first call, all of our questions and concerns were patiently handled and responded to immediately. The facility is top notch, from Bluetooth audio feed to live-streaming the service, video screens for photo montage, and a beautiful reception area for repass gatherings. There were tasteful holiday decorations that evoked a sense of comfort, plenty of comfortable seating, and two available parking lots. Chet hosted our day and was AMAZING! Exclaimed by all of the attendees, he was very welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. It was heartwarming to feel so valued in such a tough time. Thank you again for all your guidance and support, and for helping this day bring more smiles than tears. The Gautier Family”

Your thoughtfulness in handling our family needs were beyond par. Attention to detail was top tier and all questions and concerns were handled immediately.
