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
“Highly recommended! Extremely happy I went with Coastal Cremations after my mom passed. The care, kindness, communication, respect, and empathy they provide during your absolute worst time is a breath of fresh air. I am so grateful for Elizabeth for looking out and keeping me informed about everything. I would definitely recommend employing their services.”
— Jalen Baldwin
“The people who picked up our loved one were professional and respectful. We appreciated the assistance picking out a suitable urn, but the room/location for the small visitation was disappointing. Details matter - I was surprised that the sheet covering the stand under the casket was wrinkly, and did not completely cover the stand. To get to the room, you walk by a messy office setup. The visitation building is across the parking lot from a pawn shop and looks tacky. Also, when we had our meeting to make arrangements, the woman we spoke to advised us that if we wanted a closed casket, we would need to tell the person who was working with us on the day of the visitation. It ended up being fine, but communication would seem to be the job of the company- I did not appreciate having additional items to worry about in a time of grief.”
— Melissa M
“Everyone was so kind and helpful from the first call. I appreciated their pricing was listed online so I at least had a rough estimate of the total costs. They provided great service, were very affordable and they were able to meet a tight timeline. I would highly recommend”
