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.

“I am writing in behalf of my mother Anna Cruz who wished for her review to be posted on this amazing establishment. We would like to thank the Sanford Miller-Boles family for the most wonderful , outstanding service provided for Mercedes Argentina Auria on the weekend of Sept 12-14th, 2025. We can't thank you all enough for the upmost care, love, kindness and excellence you all provided for our entire family. Everything was done to perfection the entire small and big details. We felt at ease of how the entire process went that weekend. We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts and recognize the outstanding staff member's that made everything so perfect for my mother's funeral. We like to acknowledge the Funeral Director Heather Escamilla, Associates Robert Doby, Sammy Gilmore, Evon Cheeck, David Wombie, Don Metcalf, & Gustavo E. Gomez. We felt the love and care that weekend. Words cannot express the immense gratitude I give to each and everyone of you.. The entire process from the planning beforehand, during the viewing and lastly the final procession to where she was laid to rest exceeded my expectations. It was the best decision we made as a family for my mother. It was worth every cent to go with your funeral home. Thank you truly to all for your professionalism nothing went unnoticed. God bless you all and I commend you for your wonderful works. Sincerely, Anna Cruz and the Gomez Family”

“We are extremely disappointed with our experience at this funeral home. About a year ago, we purchased a specific burial plot/land from them with the understanding that it was reserved for our family. Recently we discovered that the same piece of land we had already bought was resold and that someone else had been buried there. This situation has been heartbreaking and frustrating for our family. We trusted the funeral home to handle such sensitive matters with care and professionalism, but instead we’ve been left dealing with confusion and emotional distress during an already difficult time. We expected honesty, clear communication, and respect for our purchase and our loved ones, and unfortunately, those expectations were not met. We hope the funeral home takes responsibility for this mistake and puts procedures in place to ensure no other family has to go through what we did.”

“Miller-Boles was there when I needed them. What more can I say. This was the hardest time in my life. I did not have the mindset to make sure my mother was taken care of in the most dignified way. So much planning, I knew it was coming, but could have never realized there was so much to do. Miller-Boles handled it all. They included me in everything and ended up being a very nice service and burial. I received so many compliments regarding the service. Couldn't have been handled any better. Thank You!”
