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.

I have referred Yvonne and Universal Funeral Chapel to many people I know because of Yvonne’s great service. I am so grateful that we found this funeral home and Yvonne!”

“Planning a funeral is always difficult, but Yvonne Wang and Universal Funeral Chapel make the process so much easier. Yvonne is very knowledgeable about Buddhist traditions and helped my family plan a Buddhist funeral. She was very attentive to our needs and wishes for the funeral. We could not have planned a funeral without Yvonne’s help, kindness, and understanding. Thank you, Yvonne and Universal Funeral Chapel!”
— Alina Champon
“My father’s passing was difficult to our family. We were not prepared to deal with the funeral all of a sudden. We are so fortunate that we get to work with Universal Funeral Chapel in Arcadia. Henry Kwong and May Hsiao were able to provide immediate helps. May was compassionate to our family. Her decades of experience has made my father's funeral arrangements simple and with great respect. Thank you May for helping our family to deal with this difficult time.”
