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 had a wonderful experience with French Funerals from the moment my Grandmother was taken into their care. The entire team is kind, compassionate and accommodating. I worked with Benni who was also exceptional and such a kind person. From start to finish I felt comfortable and held through a hard season of life.”
— Jennifer Buckingham
“In your time of need this is the place to assist you through all your planning and needs . I was so impressed with all the care and time everyone took. Benni was a gift and showed true compassion in all he did. Planning start to finish was a success. Even though we needed to arrange a different time that he could not be there Hannah stepped in and it was flawless. My family is grateful. A shout also to Lynn if you do reception there. She was more than efficient , attentive, and considerate. My Uncles funeral was so grand and special. Thank you French for just being the best at what you do and having the best staff! Annette Hashimoto”
— Family Person
“We would like to thank and acknowledge Benni Ross, our funeral director at the Lomas location for his kindness, empathy and guidance with our Mom's recent memorial service. Benni was patient and responsive to all of our needs. He and the entire staff at the Lomas and Golf Course locations ensured our Mom's Celebration of Life was a special and memorable occasion for our family, friends and loved ones. We would also like to thank and acknowledge Carla Reyes, our Aftercare Estate Specialist at the Lomas location for her help and guidance reviewing steps and tasks to settle our Mom's estate with an in-depth phone call. She assisted and followed up with a detailed email of immediate tasks, provided us with a list of resources, and followed up again a month later. We appreciate the compassion and professionalism of Benni, Carla and the entire staff during our time of loss. French Funerals & Cremations has been our family's provider of choice multiple times and we highly recommend them during your time of loss.”
