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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“I have a thing for cemeteries— I should have a bumper sticker that says “I brake for cemeteries.” Slightly run down and not well maintained (hence only 4 stars) but full of history and stories. I’m not from TX so likely did not recognize some of the names — there are several plaques throughout that provide historic info. Just don’t visit during the heat of the day!”
— Margaret McInerny
“the history here is a sobering experience. I encourage all my black and brown brothers and sisters to visit and pay respect to all our ancestors who suffered during our nation’s past.”
— Señor Sanchez
“Needs a little TLC but worth the visit.”
— Paige Thomas
