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
“We experienced an unexpected passing of a family member, and during such a difficult time, Yvonne was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, and even re-explained the details to my parents in Chinese, which meant so much to our family. During the service, she was extremely attentive and made sure everything went smoothly, assisting us every step of the way. She stayed in close contact with me to ensure we were comfortable with all the logistics and details. Thank you, Yvonne, for your kindness, compassion, and professionalism. My family and I truly appreciate everything you did for us.”

“I am so thankful that we chose Universal Chun Wah for my father’s funeral service. More than anything, my family and I don’t know how we could have gotten through the most difficult time in our lives if we did not have Daniel Cheung helping us with every step. From day 1, Daniel worked with my family to plan every detail to honor my father. Daniel was patient. He was compassionate. I did not have to worry about anything when I was confident that Daniel was there to support us through this time. Daniel truly exceeded our expectations as he went out of his way to help us honor my dad. We could not have asked for better service. Especially from Daniel. We are forever grateful to Daniel and Universal Chun Wah.”
