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
“Monte Vista provided a truly beautiful and memorable experience. Anthony and Mary went above and beyond in fulfilling expectations for my husband’s funeral, handling everything with genuine kindness and compassion.”
— Patricia Marple
“Mary at Monte Vista was such a blessing to our family during such a difficult time. She helped us write a perfect obituary showing exactly who my brother was. Being a mom herself, she was able to share her mama heart with my Mama when she needed it most. She was there for us during and after our time of need. I would recommend Monte Vista and Mary 1000%. Thank you for taking care of my brother as if he was YOUR loved one.”
— Carol Leonard
“I had a very productive meeting with Anthony Harris of Monte Vista to make the arrangements for my cremation. Mr. Harris was patient with me, answered all my questions, guided me exactly towards the arrangements I want. He made every point of expense clear, talked me through every step of the process. I am very satisfied with my association with Monte Vista.”
— Sanford Branscomb
