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
“Carlos, Sid, and Leonardo went above and beyond to make sure my baby brother’s grave was repaired promptly and kept in excellent condition. They did everything we asked and reassured us every step of the way, promising to make it as beautiful as possible—and they truly delivered. I appreciate them so much; they are kind, hardworking men who brought smiles and uplifted our spirits during one of the most vulnerable times in my family’s life. I was especially grateful for how efficient they were while tending to his grave, handling everything with such delicacy and care, and ensuring the work was completed the very same day. They even told us that if we ever need anything, we could simply flag them down. That level of kindness and support means more than words can express. It brings great comfort knowing there are people who genuinely care for our loved ones and makes visiting my brother much easier. Thank you, Carlos, Sid, and Leonardo, from my family and me.”

“Carlos is such a great employee of Montecito memorial park. Ever since my son was placed to rest in this beautiful cemetery Carlos has always made sure to come by and make sure I was ok. Even just a wave from far made a huge impact on me. He does such an amazing job caring for my son’s headstone and keeps my babies grave looking clean and amazing. Thank you Carlos!”
— Elizabet Jimenez
