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
“Excellent experience. Highly recommend and this is why...My father died 39 years ago. I had recently attended my uncle's funeral and visited my dad's grave. We found his marker damaged. It was one the military had given him. Small and flat on the ground. That day, my daughter and I went directly to Cen-Tex Monuments determined to make this right. We met Randy Evans, and he walked us through all the options for a new monument, helped us to design the monument to honor my father, gave advice when asked, and not once did he rush us or try to lead us to any particular. He let us take our time to ensure we had the perfect one and within our budget. We were notified when the marker would be placed and when it was delivered. My family all went out to see it and it moved us very much. Wonderful craftsmanship and flawless. I provided pictures. One day you will need to sit at a desk and make a decision like I did when your emotions are raw. This is the place to go.”

“I am very happy and pleased with the work CenTex Monuments provided for my Fathers memorial head stone. Great work and the amount of time it took to complete was amazingly fast. I highly recommend any one looking to purchase a headstone, go speak to Randy Evans. Thank you CenTex Monuments for my daddy’s beautiful headstone.”
— Rosa Cazares
“Mr. Evans was very accommodating and kind. I didn’t like the monument designs that were on display with flowers and angels. He kept searching for a simpler geometric design and found the perfect design for me. Then he drew a custom motif that I wanted on the stone. It is beautiful!”
