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 were very pleased with the care and services we received from Frenches. John helped us with the cremation services and kept us informed all along the way. Melissa with After Care was excellent to work with. She was very informative and helped us with many questions and recommendations to keep us on the right track going forward. We couldn't ask for better after care service.”
— Michael Goade
“Our experience with John as our funeral director was a blessing. Everything was handled with the upmost care. Great communication and true empathy. During such a difficult time, he was there for us at all times, we can’t thank John and French Funerals enough for the caring and understanding.”
— Mark Aragon
“The level of stress we were feeling was diminished working with the funeral director Antonio. He walked us step by step through the process before us and explained everything. We couldn’t be happier with the service we were given and would highly recommend this funeral home and also Antonio with the planning involved.”
