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.

“It's a beautiful place. I've found a refuge here, a comfort. It's like home. There are Bible study groups, and different programs for all ages. I invite you to come visit the Blessed Sacrament, come and get involved in the Church. There are groups in Spanish and English. Let's learn more about our Lord Jesus Christ. We need him in our lives in these difficult times.”

“This is NOT a business (lol) but one of two Catholic churches in Fountain Valley (the other one being Holy Spirit) at which I and my family have worshipped. I've been to many Catholic churches in my life (both in the U.S. and abroad) and this one suits me just fine! I have NO complaints and will continue to attend masses here as long as I am a Fountain Valley resident...”
