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.

“Love coming here, the Lord is greatly worshipped & high & lifted up! The pastors and staff are cool and welcoming! The times in which we live it's so important to turn to God and the Bible and CCP does that & it's wonderful!”
— AJ Essington
“My husband and I started attending CCP at the beginning of this year and we know the Lord has led us here. We had been praying for a church with sound doctrine that teaches the actual word of God. The people here are very welcoming. The women's Bible study and marriage ministry have both been a blessing for us. It's really tough to come across a great church that teaches the word of God the way it should. We feel so blessed to have found this beautiful place. Thank you Jesus! 💕 if you're looking for a church that teaches straight from the Bible , with a great community of believers and the gospel is not watered down then this one is it.”
— Natalia Garcia
“I've been to other Calvary Chapels, namely the Chino Hills and Fullerton ones, and I have to say this one is by-far the worst. They had a frankly absurd number of security staff, as though it were a TSA checkpoint or something. They all were wired up and mic'd up, all over the place, watching the congregation and patrolling the outside the whole time. It gave extremely dystopian, non-friendly vibes. Also, kind of LARP-y. There weren't that many people attending, and it is a pretty small building, so I think the amount of security was seriously overkill. On top of all of this, the pastor (I didn't get his name, I don't think they mentioned it?) Gave a frankly horrible sermon. He is not the best speaker, and very clearly injected his own political bias' into every aspect of it. He repeated multiple times that he only abides by the bible, before quoting the bible, and building his own interpretation. It was also fraught with a level of smug that made me feel like they were more so trying to indoctrinate rather than build faith or new followers. He spoke badly about other churches, called them idiots, and said that essentially everyone he disagrees with is stupid, but he has the word of God on his side. But did not make a strong case for me to believe him. If you're looking to convert a friend, or even just looking for a church that truly quotes from the bible, and doesn't build tenuous interpretations that are filled with political bias, DO NOT come here. I am shocked the Calvary Chapel would support this type of sermon.”
