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
“La Paz family and staff took amazing and meticulous care of our family during a very tragic and public time. We are so grateful for the way everything was handled and the generosity of Mr. La Paz. Your heart is seen and appreciated Sir. My nieces funeral was beautiful and she was honored with dignity because of you. The way that Sophia Hernandez, Blaze and Juan Carlos took extra care in our situation and offered ways around the almost impossible. It's been almost 4 months and we still receive follow up calls on our well being from Sophia. We are forever grateful for the extra kindness and love that we felt and still feel. Thank you, The Barraza Family”

“I can’t say enough good things about this business. They took care of my grandmother with such compassion and professionalism from start to finish. The staff was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make a very difficult time feel just a little bit easier. Her makeup and presentation were absolutely beautiful, she looked so peaceful and like herself again, which meant so much to our family. Every detail was handled with care and respect, and we never felt rushed or overlooked. I am truly grateful for the way they honored my grandmother’s life and supported our family. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone needing funeral services.”
