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
“Olivia Alaniz was outstanding! From initial consultation, thru detailed arrangements, procurement of death certificates, the funeral service itself and the graveside service--she was always professional and compassionate. She kept lines of communication open, and was flexible and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend Castle Ridge Mortuary for those who find themselves with the unpleasant task of planning a funeral for a loved one.”
— Steven DaLuz
“From the moment we walked in Castle Ridge, we knew we were "with family". The building smelled clean, AC was cool, and the staff was friendly, precise, professional, attentive, and compassionate. Everything was on time and set up as requested. My family was treated very special by the staff especially, by Gabriela, the funeral director, who planned the funeral and all the details and requests with ease. We were comforted knowing our mother and my mother-in-law was in good hands. Nina, the manager, Brady, the assistant, and Hannah, the other assistant were very friendly and approachable. Ms. Jen, Josue, and Olivia were incredible assisting us as well during the rosary and viewing. Mr. Rick Sanchez was very professional and attentive to our family as we laid her to rest and expressed his condolences as well. We highly recommend you meet with Gabriela and Nina, the funeral directors for your funeral needs. They are the best! Thank you to all the staff of Castle Ridge! My mother-in-law would be so happy with how she was treated. We really were "with family".”

“At a very difficult time due to the unexpected loss of a brother (son to a mother) the Castleridge mortuary ( at 8008 Military drive ) and it amazing staff, Funeral director (Alma) provided the most comprehensive, professional and above all the most compassionate service we have ever experienced during this very painful period. Unfortunately, there has been quite a few deaths in our family in the last 10’years, therefore can provide a means to measure services (we have used most of the funeral mortuary providers in San Antonio) and can, without a doubt state CastleRidge by far executed all our wishes and exceeded all our expectations beyond all previous experiences with other providers. We cannot express in words how greatful our family is to Castleridge for the beautiful service and loving experience they provided. We were treated as family. You will always be revered for your compassionate services. Best wishes to you from the Rangel Family. God Bless you!”
