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 an Amazing company and the veterinarian! Cholla Afterlife was so heartwarming and didn’t rush us when picking up our sweet husky Zeus! 🩵 Aquamation is such a kind process and cost the same as cremation. It’s so much better for the environment too. This gave us a sense of peace while sending our sweet boy over the rainbow bridge. I highly recommend this establishment. They are available 24/7 to come pick up your animal when they have passed. The Vet Dr Paula is so very kind and patient. We met their wonderful staff when we picked up our pups remains. We were presented a beautiful wood carved box with our pups powdered remains. Also a beautiful paw print and the water used with the Aquamation process to use to water a plant they gave us. Very Special”

“This service was a godsend. We lost our golden retriever at 6:30 am. He was 81 lbs. and at our age and physical health we could not take care of him. We called Cholla Afterlife and they arrived by 10 am. The wonderful woman arrived, carefully and tenderly moved our fur baby to the transport van. The end result is a lovely wooden box with his remains and a treasured paw print in a terracotta circle. God bless this service!”

“I could not ask for a better experience. Dr. Paula was such a gift to us during a time when we were so overwhelmed with grief. Experiencing the death of your pet is a difficult time, but it is also sacred, and Dr. Paula holds space for that. I never once felt rushed and by the end of our appointment I was confident that Dr. Paula would treat our sweet girl with the dignity, compassion, and love she deserved. I could not imagine a better experience. I will recommend Cholla Afterlife to everyone I know. I am so grateful this was available to us.”
