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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Went to visit my granny and Auntee and the grass is hella dry why is that…. Why is the grass not being watered. I know they dead good money was paid. So what we doing. Well I called and they called me back. Miss Charlene was just a bubble of joy. I appreciate her returning my call there is an ordinance from Alameda county and they cannot water because it will carry the West Nile virus so they’re doing the best they can, and they’ve taken more calls than one on the situation. Kudos to Miss Charlene and thank you for answering the phone.”

“This cemetery is a dump, literally. All of the sidewalks that border it are covered in trash, overgrown grass, and abandoned vehicles. It looks like it is a magnet for illegal dumping. I suspect it is contributing to and attracting blight in the surrounding neighborhoods. The cemetery is supposed to maintain the public sidewalks that border it, just as homeowners are supposed to maintain the sidewalks that front their homes. If you want to go to a nice cemetery in Oakland, visit Mountain View. Avoid this one.”

“I visited five of my 2X great grandparents who are buried in Evergreen Cemetery in the 1930s. They were all here in the Bay Area before the Great Quake. I was sad that it was so difficult to find them, I spent an hour and a half looking for one great grandmother because I was pointed in the wrong direction by the office staff. Some areas seemed to be uncared for. And that everything was so dry and desolate looking.”
