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
“I got the opportunity to take a tour of the San Fernando Pioneer Memorial Cemetery. So much history in this beautiful three acre historical cemetery. The cemetery docent is very knowledgeable and clearly has a reverence for this quirky little place. Definitely worth the trek out to Sylmar.”
— Stefanie Garcia
“My family is Roberds and Bemis, pioneers of San Bernardino. My 3rd great grandfather was Richard Roberds. Sadly I tried to find my grandfathers memorial and wasn’t able to, I did find Mother Bemis. I’m thankful for the history of being a Pioneer family, but I wish the cemetery was taken care of better. I wish the City Council cared more about their history. The cemetery has been vandalized and headstones destroyed. If I were rich I would have the cemetery renovated and fixed.”
— Mike Morrison
“Very serene cemetery. The upkeep here is immaculate. Gates close at 1800 sharp.”
— George Bryan Diaz
