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
“Here we laid to rest my father this past weekend. He is next to my brother Jessie (on the left). Photos of his urn being placed inside - we wait for his engravement still. I see many reviews and comments of the cemetery and how well maintained the grounds were kept. It makes me smile so very much. This man, my father, was the groundskeeper at Alta Vista Cemetery for MANY years. He did everything with maintaining those grounds with all his heart and now he is laid to rest at the very place he took such good care of. RIP Harold Michael Weber. And thank you to all the Alta Vista staff that showed up to be there with my family.”
