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
“We had to choose a mortuary for my father in the middle of the night with no warning. I picked at random, and I guess I'm lucky I picked Farrington, because everything was great. Lindsay (the owner) was extremely responsive and helpful and respectful, even delivering my father's ashes in person once they were ready. And the pricing was very reasonable, which was very satisfying given how easy it is for places to take advantage of people in the throes of grief. The only downside for us is that their viewing facility is in Anaheim, kind of far from us, but it was our responsibility to do advance research, so I can't blame them for that.”
— Matt Waggoner
“Farrington Mortuary is by far the most reasonably priced funeral home in the LA area. The last thing anyone wants to worry about during such a difficult time is the cost. The owner, Lindsay, is extremely professional and kind and can accommodate all types of services.”
— Courtney Allen
“Farrington Mortuary went beyond any expectations I could have had. I was suddenly thrust into the decision making process without any recommendations or references. Lindsay helped me navigate the whole thing with kindness, compassion and grace. I feel so fortunate to have found Farrington. I HIGHLY recommend them. She personally delivered my mom's ashes and, again, showed so much kindness, compassion and grace.”
— Kit Newman
