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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“The service I received at Gonzalez Funeral Home was truly above and beyond. From the very beginning, I was truly touched by Sean and all he did, his generosity knows no bounds. Glenn was truly amazing to work with. He made what is still an extremely difficult time, easier. He was also very generous, understanding and caring. Mario Martinez sat in on my meeting with Glenn and was very kind and helpful as well. After my grandfather's cremation, I received a call from Adam Mestres expressing his condolences. A true gentleman who is very caring and comforting. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me and my grandfather. You all made it possible for me to transport his remains to Chicago just in time for Christmas, so they could be with the remains of my grandmother and mother...eternally grateful, may God bless you all greatly.”
