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.

“Yohana Chavez was amazing. She was kind, patient and honest. She was wonderful and professional when choosing a space for my family member. I was nervous to go on my own but she was very direct and upfront about prices. She stayed with me while walking through the gardens and did not pressure me at all to buy same day. She is a wonderful person and made my experience easier and more relaxing. I definitely recommend her!!”

“Their candlelight service has gone downhill. They used to have a real candlelight service with candles for everyone, a slide show with your loved one’s name, a prayer and a moment of silence then you go visit your loved one - now it’s a meaningless drive thru and you’re not allowed to visit your loved one anymore. I heard them yelling at people “no visiting” “get back into your vehicle” felt so very cold and unsympathetic. How does sitting in your car and just driving past your loved one serve as a time of honor and remembrance? We can drive by anyday. This used to be a special occasion, now it’s get in, get out. We visit our loved ones regularly and gathering at the candlelight service was a time all families paused from the outside busy world and united in our sorrow as one but now it’s no better than the busy outside world. This service is no longer for the families. Don’t call it a candlelight service because it’s really not, there’s no service call it what it is, a drive thru, nothing else. It used to be so nice, why change it.”
