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 would like to thank Alameda Family Funeral & Cremation and your entire staff for all you did for us as we mourned the loss of our mother. You were there for us every step of the way and fulfilled our every need, comforting us and supporting us like you would your own family. The high-quality life-stream truly was magnificent and it enabled those who could not attend the funeral to view in real time or to watch later…”
— David Le
“To lose a dear friend, and be so far away from her celebration for a life well-lived is difficult. Having the ceremony broadcast put me in the room, and allowed me to hear from family, friends and associates how right I was from the first day I met the fabulous Mayor/Governor Hung Wei that she was special. My condolences to her family and all who knew her as friends.”
— Tom Boylan

Excellent Service - caring as well as informative in the process for legal formalities and international travel for cremation remains. Staff was very professional & friendly, understood and accommodated Hindu rites and beliefs and were very respectful of our wishes.”
