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
“Saint Jude Makailo food services says your able to come twice a month and after waiting in line for 2 hours they denied a party of 3 food..this includes my mother 78 and myself 56 and my ex wife 51..how fair is this when my ex wife and I are both homeless and what little my mom gets she gives to the church !!! She has been a Catholic all her life and still they send her away . I can't believe these people !! I have more than once seen the workers taking the pick of food putting it in their cars before distribution to the very people who need it..shame shame God is watching and Im certain he wouldn't want any of his people going without food hungry and wondering how they will eat tonight !”

“Attended Sunday Mass here while on vacation. Thank you for the warm welcome and birthday blessing!”

“When I moved to Makakilo, I wanted a catholic church to go to. I also needed a priest right away to bless my home. It was fairly easy to call the church and schedule a home visit by a priest. He was on time and very kind. He literally went to every room and area of my home and blessed it with holy water. I attempted to give a donation to him but he refused and told me, "Just come to our church and be a part of the community". Church looks nice, no problems at all so far. One thing I didn't like is their baptism process. It was sort of like a group baptism where all the babies go up at once and they are baptised quickly one after the other. Unlike other choices where each child goes up individually with their parents. Catholic church. Air conditioning. Friendly people”
