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.

“Eggen and Lance Funeral Home in Santa Rosa provided truly exceptional care and compassion during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very beginning, their staff treated my mother with the utmost dignity, respect, and professionalism. Every step of the process was handled with care, sensitivity, and clear communication, which brought us tremendous comfort during our time of grief. They created a calm, supportive environment and gave our family the space, time, and opportunity we needed to properly say goodbye to her — something we will always be deeply grateful for. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine empathy did not go unnoticed. It was clear that they truly care about the families they serve, and that made an immeasurable difference for us. We cannot thank Eggen and Lance enough for their outstanding service and compassionate support. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a funeral home that treats your loved one and your family with respect, care, and humanity.”

“Making arrangements while grieving a loved one feels impossible, but the staff at Eggen and Lance took a huge weight off our shoulders and did everything with grace, kindness, and patience. Working with Matt and Jaime was incredible. They took one of the hardest times in my family’s life and made it bearable. Matt’s knowledge made the entire process feel smooth while still being gentle and compassionate with our family. Both Matt and Jaime were always available to answer questions or help us whenever we needed. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for our family and for honoring and caring for our mom while she was in their care.”

“1000/10 rating. Matt and Jaimie and the whole team did an amazing job with such a delicate and heartbreaking time. They are very matter of fact and upfront about services, pricing, and respectful and caring about all that goes into this part of when someone passes. I think when you have a loved one pass there is so much you forget or have on your plate, and they helped make this process as streamline and beautiful as possible. My family and I had issues with a previous cremation company and Eggen & Lance made sure to advocate and ensure all the documentation was sent and handled all of that so we could get our refund, they took that added stress off our plate. They made a really sad day turn into a celebration of life and if you ever are in need of funeral services I can’t recommend them enough.”
