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 was very happy with the quality of service and the professionalism of the staff who were so accessible and friendly and helpful. They were going out of their way to accommodate our needs and helping us to navigate this difficult and sad situation. Elizabeth Campos and Alisha Myers were extremely helpful and courteous throughout the time before, during and after the burial and memorial service and Robert was present throughout the service and helped us to have a beautiful and elegant celebration of life ceremony for my mom and all the guests were praising the venue and service”

“Toni Barton helped us select a place for pre-planning, she was very detailed and walked us through all the different options in Pacific View, this is a beautiful, well cared cemetery close to the Ocean with a very nice view of the ocean and Catalina. Toni is very patient answering all our questions which helped us a lot for making decisions. After many weeks we finally made our choice and we are very happy. Toni also helped us find a great solution for our friend who did not buy any property earlier but would like to be buried in the same existing grave as her husband. Many thanks to Toni for her patience and recommendation!”

“On a clear day you can see Catalina. My uncle, cousins and aunt are buried here. We celebrated my aunts life yesterday. The staff are so nice and gracious. Everything for the graveside was beautiful. We had family running late and they allowed us to wait for them. It was a beautiful day. My aunt and uncle met in Catalina which is why they selected this location. It’s always difficult to say goodbye. When we said goodbye to my uncle they allowed the fire trucks to drive through as my uncle was the captain of the South Pasadena Fire Department. This is a beautiful property and the staff is so nice and helpful during this difficult process. This was the forth funeral at this location. Ten out of ten recommend for a final resting spot.”
