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.

“I've been a proud member of the Chula Vista Elks Lodge for nearly 15 years, and it's truly been a second home to me. The members are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people you'll ever meet — a true sense of community and camaraderie. The Social Quarters staff consistently goes above and beyond, always professional, warm, and attentive. Whether you're stopping by for a drink, a meal, or a Lodge event, you’ll feel right at home. And if you're traveling, the RV host and accommodations are top-notch — well-maintained and always managed with care. I'm grateful to be part of such a fantastic organization. Five stars without question!”

“Not much more than a parking lot but special just the same. Full hookups. What makes it different is the people. The Elks are special, the camp host truly does a great job, and all the neighbors are caring and friendly. All the members here as well. Wish I could give more than a five, maybe an 8!!!”
— Bernard Dietsch
“We appreciate the ability to reserve our space. We traveled from Oregon to celebrate great-granddaughter birthday; nice to know we had a spot. You have a wonderful host in Kc and his wife, friendly and hard working. We also had a great meal in your restaurant. And thank Don for his hospitality”
