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
“First and foremost- thank you for allowing me to have my services at your facility. From the moment I walked in- I felt the love and support one needs during difficult times. Rachel- Hey-Girl!!! Is director of the funeral home and she literally met me with open arms and such compassion at the door as she saw a family in distress. She went above and beyond all aspects during the services and after the services. We need more people like you on earth. She took care of all the phone calls, the paperwork and wrote the most beautiful obituary one could ask for. She nailed everything about my daughter. I appreciate your kind heart and amazing spirit! Thanks for everything you did and continue to do. To the staff and driving crew- thank you for going the extra mile. You guys have an awesome team and I will always be grateful for everything you all did!”
— Raisa Gonzalez
“Mr.Michael and staff my family is so grateful how you handled everything. So compassionate, professional, friendly and delicate, and made a difficult time go so smoothly. My family can’t thank you enough. The entire staff is so dedicated to making the beloved look so presentable and handled with care. Sincerely Depina, Hill, Vieira family”
— Cacai
“If I could leave a negative review I would! Compassion!! This place has none!! They only care about the $$ at the end of the service. The way my husband was treated when his mother passed was disgusting and then the hospice facility sent another loved one to their facility on accident and we had to fix the mix up and Mike who was on the phone had no problem raising his voice and being very unprofessional to the grieving family. Literally yelled at my husband saying “we already received the body are you kidding me!!” he said this very angrily and rude. WHO DOES THAT TO SOMEONE GRIEVING???”
