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 cannot say enough wonderful things about the cremation services and, especially, about Jack. From start to finish, he helped me every step of the way during an incredibly difficult time. He was consistently patient with my many questions, compassionate, and truly supportive when I needed it most. Jack’s professionalism and kindness were superior in every way. He never rushed me, always explained things clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. There simply are not enough stars to rate his level of customer service. I am deeply grateful for his guidance and support, and I would highly recommend Alpine Online Cremation to anyone in need of these services.”

“Jack of Alpine Online Cremation is a great man. My mother passed away in Kern county. We live in Los Angeles county. Jack was not only professional and empathetic to my situation, he made the most difficult time of my life so much easier. The price was affordable and payment options convenient. He even filled urn chains I ordered and shipped to him directly. He kept me informed about the process and everything that was going on. I took care of all my mother's needs via phone and email and I am very satisfied with the services. I know my mom was handled with care. Thank you Jack. I'm forever grateful for you and your help during this difficult time.”
— Sanora Aleman
“Jack was awesome. I'm a death doula, educator and advocate and two things I hate about the funeral industry are the phony compassion tone of voice and the brutal up-selling to people in grief. I got NONE of that! Such a relief! Jack was a clear communicator, kind, and grounded. I got answers to my questions. The price was right. Not one single attempt to up-sell, and honestly, that's a first. Thank you for just doing the work that was needed with relative speed. Y'all rocked.”
