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.

Business Hours
What Families Say
“A beautiful cathedral... Our church is beautiful as well... But they just don't make churches or cathedrals the way they used to...”
— Frank Anthony Perez
“These guys are extremely lazy. They open at 8:30 and close at 4:30. If they even show up at all. The Google timings are not consistent with these people. They should update their working hours. It's a nuisance having to call before you go just to see if they are or not.”
— Danny
“I have been coming here for almost 40 years and have always received help capable of the church like praying over my sick son or talking to a priest. Thank you Father Alejandro. Seeing people complain that the church didn't help them pay an electric bill is absurd. This is not really a charity organization to do so. They do help those who attend the church if needed. I feel comfortable here and feel like it's my family. I walk in and see familiar faces - greatest feeling.”
— Carolina Rivera
