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
“Green Street Mortuary was a true blessing during one of the most difficult times for our family. From the very beginning, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Elaine, in particular, went above and beyond for us while we were arranging my mother-in-law’s memorial. Her kindness, patience, and attention to detail made an overwhelming process feel manageable and supported. She listened to our wishes, guided us through every step, and made sure the memorial truly honored my mother-in-law’s life in a beautiful and meaningful way. It’s rare to find people who combine professionalism with such sincere empathy, and Elaine did exactly that. We will always be grateful for the respect and care she showed our family. I highly recommend Green Street Mortuary to anyone needing compassionate, thoughtful support during a difficult time.”

They communicated clearly providing options/menu of services quickly. They understand the Chinese funeral customs and traditions and historical references. They will definitely provide you information, and ultimately you make your decision. They are with you every step of the way during the service, and try to accommodate your wants and needs during the planning process which they are responsive via email, phone, or text...that makes your decision making process easier.”
— Kathryn Yee
“It’s a killjoy in the vibrant mood of North Beach—insisting on life’s end right in the middle of a lively street. Could it not have been tucked into an alley, where we wouldn’t have to be reminded of death? Isn’t there a time and place for everything? Let’s hide death so we can live in the illusion of life. I have never liked the tawdry scene of brass bands, black hearses, pigs sitting on top of horses!”
