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
“Our preplanning contact with Dignity Memorial was April Hernandez. She was the quintessential professional. She was quite helpful with suggestions but never once did she try to push us to any decision. We are quite pleased with our final decisions and are able to rest assured that our loved ones will be taken care of with the least amount of of anxiety at a very difficult time time for them when that time comes. We are very grateful to April for all her help.”
— Barbara Shelton
“If you or your family are Veterans I would strongly suggest you find another place! This was the worst experience of my life! We were lied to several times! They were charging us for things we were told was complementary. They will not take the VA insurance (we were told they would). They wouldn't take private insurance (we were told they would). They wanted All the money up front. We were forced to find another place. They were even so low that they cancelled the Navy's color guard 21 gun salute and flag presentation. After telling the new place it was all lined up. This is No way totreat any family who has experienced a loss. My family will do our part to advise others of how we were treated. ESPECIALLY VETERANS who gave there all for this country! What a shame.”
— Lee Ellison
