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
“When my grandpa unexpectedly needed last-minute changes from cremation to burial, we were overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. That’s when Western Funeral Home truly came to the rescue. From the moment I made the call, Adriana took care of everything. She arranged for my grandpa to be transported from the cremation center to their funeral home without us having to worry about a single detail. She patiently walked us through different service packages, clearly explaining our options and helping us make the best decision for our family. Adriana handled all communication with the cemetery, coordinated burial dates, scheduled deadlines for clothing, and made sure every detail was in place. Most importantly, she made sure I wasn’t stressing during one of the hardest times in my life. Even after the burial, she has continued to check in on me and my family to see how we’re grieving and whether we’re okay. That level of care goes beyond professionalism — it shows true compassion. We are incredibly grateful for Adriana and Western Funeral Home for their kindness, efficiency, and heartfelt support during such a difficult time. I truly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services.”
— PATRICIA HERNANDEZ
“Margie was the sweetest and most understanding person to work with. She listened to every detail and every wish we had for our father’s memorial. We didn’t have to worry about anything — all we had to do was send in the photos, and she took care of the rest. Everything was set up beautifully, and even during the viewing she was still there supporting us. I didn’t get to personally thank her for everything, but I hope through this review she knows just how grateful our family truly is. Also we’re gracious to her staff that help her and us in the process.”

“Marge did a wonderful job planning and putting together my viewing for my husband Adrian. She was so caring and dedicated with going above and beyond to make this moment so sentimental and touched my heart. She made picture frame with coasters with gems of my husband favorite football team "Raiders" and put in all her hard work and dedication, it came out beautiful. She was so patient and helping through this difficult time. She offered to door dash any food or anything she could and that goes along way. Thank you so much! My family loved the viewing and said Marge did a great job! Thank you again!!!!”
