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.

“I am deeply saddened to share our experience with Garcia Mortuary during a time of profound grief after the tragic loss of my mother. We came from Colorado to make arrangements, trusting that we would be guided through this process with compassion and care. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but that. Adrianna Rodriguez assured us that she would handle everything for my mother's services, yet what followed was a series of miscommunications and unfulfilled promises. Initially, we were told everything was in place, only to later find out that the details were constantly changing. This added unnecessary stress during an already painful time. On top of that, when we attempted to make our payment, we were met with excuses about the debit card reader not working and were told to return another day. This lack of professionalism was incredibly frustrating, especially when we were trying to finalize arrangements. Adrianna informed us that she couldn't provide any service dates without a church date, and as we sought out churches in Albuquerque, we were left waiting and uncertain. What is most troubling is that Adrianna ultimately told us she was unable to proceed with the services and would be holding my mother’s body longer. This is not only unprofessional but added to our grief, as we felt our needs were disregarded during such a vulnerable time. I cannot recommend Garcia Mortuary based on our experience. The lack of communication and care shown by Adriana Rodriguez has compounded our pain instead of helping us through it. It’s crucial to have clear, honest support during such a sensitive time, and sadly, we did not receive.”
