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.

“Everything went perfectly; they respected our religion and provided us with a beautiful Catholic Mass. Grand Legacy Funeral Home helped us fulfill my mom’s final wish of resting with her parents in Mexico. Elver and his team were incredibly compassionate and maintained great communication with us throughout the entire process. While nothing can take away the pain of losing our mom, they truly eased the burden by handling the paperwork and ensuring she arrived safely at her final destination. I also want to especially thank the makeup artist, she did beautiful work, and my mom looked peaceful and lovely. Thank you for everything.”
