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 cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and compassion I received from Dione at Sierra View Funeral Home during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the very first conversation, Dione made what could have been an overwhelming and emotionally exhausting process feel manageable and dignified. She was patient, attentive, and exceptionally accommodating. Every question I had was answered with clarity and kindness. Every concern was met with understanding. She never made me feel rushed or pressured, only supported. What stood out most was her genuine compassion. This was not just a service to her; it was evident that she truly cared. She treated my loved one with respect and handled every detail with grace and professionalism. During a time when emotions are heavy and decisions feel difficult, having someone steady, calm, and empathetic guiding you makes all the difference. Because of Dione, I was able to focus on honoring my loved one rather than feeling overwhelmed by logistics. That is a gift I will always be thankful for. If you are searching for a funeral home that operates with integrity, compassion, and true care for families, I wholeheartedly recommend Sierra View Funeral Home. You can trust them to handle your loved one’s arrangements with dignity and respect.”

“Sierra View was wonderful to work with. I lost both of my parents within three weeks and Sierra View handled it professionally and with sensitivity. Great staff. Everything went smoothly and their follow up is a nice touch. Thanks, Chris”

“Jill and the team at Sierra View were very kind and compassionate and efficient when I had to deal with the passing of my mother. They arranged for an immediate transport of her body, and were very accomodating with all of the arrangements. I was able to handle all arrangements with only 1 or 2 visits to their facility. She clearly explained our choices and what the price of everything would be. No attempted upsell and no surprises. Communication was excellent throughout the entire time I dealt with them. Would highly recommend them when needed.”
