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.

“At such a horrible time in our lives, losing our Dad, Desert Sunset employees provided important information to us with the next steps in a calm and helpful manner. They were also very thorough about things like ordering enough death certs as well as walking us through the arrangements and timeline for cremation. Very upfront about cost which we felt was reasonable. Appreciated the detailed invoice and packet of information on what to expect as well as follow up texts and phone calls for any of our concerns.”

“My family can’t thank Francine with Desert Sunset Funeral home, enough. Her kindness, warmth and professionalism were top notch!

We highly recommend Francine and Desert Sunset. Thank you again, Francine!”
