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.

“During this difficult time of planning for the burial of my sister, Andrew Danielsen was so helpful. He was kind and caring and very supportive. He guided me throughout the entire process including coordinating with the mortuary. Our family truly appreciates Andrew's personal attention to all the details. The day of the gravesite service, everything was perfect. The beautiful Los Gatos Memorial Park is also where our parents and many of our other family members have been laid to rest. Thank you Andrew for making this experience the very best it could be. Sincerely, Margie”

“When I left Darling & Fischer in Los Gatos with several cars following me, I was told by Andrew that there would be signs at Los Gatos Memorial Park showing us where to park. When we arrived, there was one little sign pointing to the left. We drove there and couldn't find any guidance on where to park. Finally, we had to turn around. I went into the first building and asked the girl where we should park. She had no idea what I was talking about. After finding parking on our own we couldn't find where the inurnment was going to be. Thirty or more people in our group were all scattered trying to find the location of where the inurnment would take place. Once we found the location two workers showed up with food and drink in hand looking like they had just been taken from their lunch break. On top of that my actual contract was incorrect showing that I only purchased one interment rights. They have yet to correct it. I actually paid for two, one for my wife and one for me. Not a very professional operation.”

“Andrew and the team were professional, caring, and attentive throughout our difficult time. In addition to the thorough preparations, the burial went as smoothly as one could hope so that we could focus on our loved ones. Also the grounds were well-maintained and peaceful, which honors the one laid to rest and us who will be visiting regularly. All around a great staff, place, and experience.”
