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.

“All positive things about Goodbody Mortuary. From the very beginning, both Anisa and Jorge were incredibly attentive, communicative, and kind. This was my first time ever having to plan and organize funeral services, and I was unsure of where to even begin. But they made the entire process feel manageable and, more importantly, meaningful. Their bedside manner was exactly what I needed — calm, welcoming, and reassuring. They truly cared, not just about the logistics, but about honoring my father with sincerity and respect. I deeply appreciated their work ethic, their attention to detail, and the way they treated my family during such a difficult time. I’m so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend Goodbody Mortuary to anyone navigating this type of loss.”

“A Heartfelt Thank You to Goodbody Mortuary – Especially Julie and Her Team Losing a loved one is never easy, but during one of the most difficult times in our lives, Julie and her team at Goodbody Mortuary provided an incredible level of care, compassion, and professionalism that we will never forget. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to guide us through every step of the funeral planning process. Goodbody was also the most affordable and value in the San Diego area. Julie and her staff were exceptional in their communication and dedication, ensuring that everything—from coordinating with the hospital for the release of our mother’s body to arranging the viewing and funeral service at the church—was handled with the utmost respect and efficiency. Their expertise and genuine kindness allowed us to focus on grieving and honoring our mother’s memory instead of being overwhelmed by logistics. If you are ever in need of a mortuary that truly puts families first, Goodbody Mortuary is the place to turn to. Thank you again, Julie and team, for everything you did for our family.”

“This is the second time we used Goodbody services, sadly for both of our parents, 15 months apart. Julie Tran was an outstanding funeral director in every possible ways. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Julie was very attentive, respectful and caring making a very sad time in our family life more bearable. The level of attention to details Julie provided eliminated the stress of the services and allowed us to focus on the farewells of our beloved parents. We're beyond grateful for not only her exceptional service but also for her leadership in managing her staff to provide such an exceptional level of services from beginning to end. We'd definitely highly recommend Julie and Goodbody Mortuary to anyone! Our many heartfelt thanks to Julie and her team.”
